Y'know, I was pretty content to just read along with the thread and see where it went until I read the response above.
My first reaction? Who cares what the Seniors think or want...
what do YOU want?!? Your chapter members should have NO SAY in what your future in ZTA is, even if they'd like to think that they do. If you value your sisterhood, then fight to keep it! Don't let a bunch of girls who "are doing this to me (you) to show how unhappy they are about it" take that away from you. I went to a big SEC school, I know the kind of attitudes that can be generated in large chapters. Don't let the inter-politics ruin what could be (when you are ready again) the most enriching and long-lasting relationships of your life.
Your repsonses to being early alumn have been so negative ("I'm not gonna force myself into early alumn status"), it makes me wonder if you are really understanding the concept? At least investigate the option. If it just isn't for you, then so-be-it. But don't just take what a bunch of girls who may or may not be mad at you tell you and decide your sorority fate for you.
That said, if you are content to just sit there and take whatever they tell you at face value...then fine. I would think that going early alumn would be a win-win, but if you are okay with severing your membership with the sorority you love so much, then ultimately that's your decision that you'll have to live with. As long as you make the right decision for
you, not the right decision for your chapter.
