Serious Is it okay for me to leave as a pledge if I don’t feel a big connection with my pc and other members + time commitment reasons?

Every day there’s stuff that takes hours to do and I need the best possible grades as a pre med so it doesn’t feel like it’s working. Also, I feel like I’m not really a part of the community because I don’t drink and smoke as much as everyone else and because I feel swamped with schoolwork and shit I don’t want to pick up a position in the house either. Because of this, I end up wishing I don’t have to go to the frat every day and could focus on my schoolwork and other friends. I enjoy the parties but all the other commitments like setup, cleanup, chores, etc. are a lot, and I’ve been telling my parents and my friends how much I love it even though it’s beginning to wear on me lately. Do yall think it’s worth pushing through and starting to live in asap to feel like a part of it more or am I just not frat material? Thank for your help.
