I definitely agree with Maggie. Now I'm just now jumping into the conversation and I don't know exactly what is going on in NBO, but I think starting up an exec council is the way to go. I am currently the VP Social (aka new member educator) and during pledgeship I felt like I was in charge of everything and all the weight was on my shoulders. BUT a wonderful alum told me that the purpose of a chapter is to be united; not one person is in charge totally. Like Maggie said, start different committees. In Pi Phi we call these Interest Groups. I believe we have IGs like Rush, Philanthopic, Spirit, and Fraternity Heritage. This way leadership is delegated more throughout the house, and the exec council can help support you through the rough times. Corina, I know how you feel. I've been frustrated many times with my house. My house is trying to raise its numbers and create a better standing on campus. It's hard "starting over" or starting totally from scratch, but it takes time and effort. I know in the long run all of your hard work, devotion, and love will come through in the end. Remember this isn't the end of the world. I really hope things work out well for you sweetie. You deserve it.
