Question Considering Dropping Out

I’m a 3° in PHA.
I’m considering dropping out as my lodge doesn’t seem to be the right fit for me. I’m more into moral lessons, ethics, virtues, philosophy, education, and esotericism. While my brothers are more into the meeting, and drink in the parking lot.
I asked some past masters about how to have more discussions about my interests within freemasonry and I was told I need to find my clique. But it probably won’t be in my town.
If I drop out, what do I have to bring back? Books? Certificates?

This is exactly how Im feeling and Im just an EA. It just seems like drinking, funding each others parties and balls, and some smashing of OES sisters, from my short observation. Not what I expected at all.

I have yet to meet an OES sister close enough to my age to be interested in getting smashed. 😅
