The advisor comment offended me, Amanda. Not the Nom Com point as much.

As an Advisor, I can attest to the fact that sometimes the officer selection process can get hairy. There are tears shed many times before it's all over. I personally try not to get overly involved. It's not my show to run. If I feel that a decision is obviously wrong, I tell them why. If they are torn between two ladies, I'll weigh in with my opinion. Then I sit back and allow them to make the decision for themselves. There are often certain ladies that I feel should have particular positions. Sometimes the chapter selects someone that I ask myself "What are they THINKING????" But you know what- it generally works out OK. Not always perfectly, but OK. The chapter knows what it is doing, we haven't fallen apart, and we'll be here in the future. It takes more than one wrong officer selection to wreck a chapter. Please relax, try not to be too upset, and work with the system. It has been in place for a long time, and will be there for a while longer. It does work. While it is occasionally personally painful for a few, overall the system is fine, and we should support it.

Guys - Keep your fingers crossed for me. Due to a recent turn of events...."the position" is up for grabs again (hmm, am I surprised???), and exec will be appointing it tomorrow night.

I dont wanna get my hopes up again, but I'd be lying if I said I didnt still want it. But, I'm not sweating it anymore - because I know that someone else - other than her - will have the position, and its okay.

Plus, I'm also on the committee to help set up the program for how this position is supposed to be run - so even if I dont get it this time, at least I have a direct say in how the program is run, so I feel good about that.

The only reason I'm even questioning whether or not the chapter feels that I'm capable of this position, is because one of the girls said some really really hurtful things to me back when all this drama started. She said that my reaction was living proof of why they didnt want me in that position in the first place. D*mn, I'm sorry that I'm emotional, and I'm sorry that I felt strong against her holding that job, but okay, if you really think that my reaction was worse than her holding that position, then share whatever it is that you're smoking, 'cause I could use some. I have the feeling that it was HER opinion (because she has the tendency to be on the stuck up side sometimes), not the rest of NomComs, but whatever. Thats fine. If, at this point, Exec still picks someone else, so be it. At least I know the job will get done this time around.

If I get the position, I'll come back tomorrow night and tell y'all what it is - even though there's probably more than enough clues for y'all to figure it out by now. Wish me luck!

So...

Guess who the newest New Member Orientation Chair is?

:D :D :D :D :D :p

Congratulations!!

Sorry to be getting all up in your "Koolade" so late in the game (I've read back to the beginning so at least I know the flavor-lol)...

As a past Corresponding Secretary, NMOC, Membership VP, and Chapter President (all in a chapter with less than 20!) I know the trials of Nom Com from both sides. I don't envy you the heartache!

Anyway congrats on the new position. I know I enjoyed my time as NMOC. I learned a lot myself in the process. Teaching is never easy, the whole "you can lead a horse" thing is very true. I wish you all the best!

Congratulations!

Congratulations.....NMOC is a great position and I hope you have a good time with it
