There is no insult implied with this follow-up, its an honest expression of an educated opinion and designed to make you think . . .
On reflection, and based on your post and the replies I would say you probably shouldn't run.
Your post basically just asks whether we think you should run for office: What else are we going to say but go for it?
As someone with leadership training what I was looking for your in your post is the same thing I would look for in a person running for something I had to vote on: A sophisticated appreaciation of the way things are, the way things work, and what needs to be done.
A lot of that should be expressed as verbs: So basically, you didn't tell us what you intended to do in specific terms and why. You didn't discuss the operational patterns of the chapter, the way your meetings are organized etc. In fact you cited a major problem, the lack of inclusiveness felt by the younger members but offered no remedy other than isolating the senior mebers from the Exec Board. Which is what you would be doing by not running for that reason.
Now, if you are going to go up to the plate during your election and use your two minutes to tell the group:
1. How much you love the sorority.
2. How you are going to listen to everyone.
3. How you ar basically a great person.
Then you should only run if your opponent is basically doing the same, because at least you'll be more experienced than her.
PREsident and All Other Exec Board positions are JOBS And anyone with any kind of sophistication is going to want to hear that you know exactly what the job is, and how you plan on doing it.
