OK, I am sure many of us have been in the same position as you, but it all depends on how you choose to react to it. You could get all in a snit, or you could just take it all in stride. You should be in your organization because you love it, but if you just resent it, is it really worth staying in? And regardless of what you meant by your original post, you sounded resentful. I am active in my chapter b/c I am so excited and proud to be a part of it. I never expected to be showered with praise, but apparently people did notice. I ran for exec and got elected. So maybe it seems like people don't notice or care about how loyal you are, but they probably are taking notice. And even if no one else is proud of you, be proud of yourself that you do uphold high ideals of love and loyalty. The Creed of ZTA says that "the founding precept of Zeta Tau Alpha was love, the greatest of all things." If you're more worried about recognition, you are overlooking the most important things about being in a GLO - love, frienship, pride.
