TSteven,
I should have been more clear. I do make my views known. I think it would be fair to say that I vote with about 25% of the chapter on most issues. The other 75% are craving success in every possible scenario and act like tools sometimes when they try and "do what's best for the chapter."
EX: raising dues from $1400 to $1600 - a semester! As though we're not above campus average anyway.
I should also note that I'm not bitter at all- just disappointed with the cutthroat changes that are taking place.

Crappy situation. If I were you I'd just keep up resistance until you graduate, don't compromise your principles and don't surrender by going "inactive" or "early alum". It drives me nuts when I see a brother resign from an office or stop putting in effort when things don't go in his way (whether or not he's right!)

Haha, I was hoping someone would be stalking "me" on Google like they do the sorority rushees.
I'd like to reinforce the idea that there is much more good than bad, so I won't be going inactive.

Good luck!

That's exactly the right phrase!

I agree w/ Kyle & Leslie Anne - stand your ground and say that if you got to be top tier based on looks and clothes, you can become bottom tier just as quickly.

BINGO. Our recent alumni never come around anymore. I'd like to think that I'd get a bid if I rushed now, but who knows.
