I certainly sympathize with the changes that your chapter has experienced this year. Our chapter has also gone through many changes this year as well. We had a pledge drop out two meetings after her pledging to our chapter. That was disappointing enough, but then we had three of our members, who were dissatisfied with us leave to begin another chapter. That was a blessing in disuise because beginning a new chapter only spreads the "sisterhood" in addition to separating members due to their unhappiness. That event brought others to us from another chapter who wanted to go to an Exemplar chapter from their Ritual of Jewels chapter. Change is good, but it isn't always easy. I'm glad your revealing turned out well considering the challenges your chapter faced this year. Good luck to you in 2005-2006.
