Though it may not always make sense for your chapter, you must look at the bigger picture. FHQ has our best interests at heart!!!

That can go both ways...If it doesnt make sense and it ISN'T in the best interest of our chapter, then headquarters should practice leniency and understand that special circumstances should have to be made if this were to ever become a true issue for our chapter. After all, a chapter our size, with mostly non-tradional girls....wouldnt it SUCK for a member (who might be BEST for the position) to say "I refuse to be president, because I don't want to live in the house"??? I guarantee you, if housing came along while I'm still an active y'all would have to find someone to replace me, because I need my solitary privacy, and I'm not gonna live in a house cause somebody made me. Period. Maybe if I had been an active member 4 or 5 years ago...but now? No.
And before anybody gets defensive and thinks I'm lashing out at Trish - not gonna blow either of our covers, but lets just put it this way - she knows me and she's picking on me, and I'm just picking right back....it's the devils advocate syndrome.
