It's nice to hear you say some positive things about your chapter, as well.
I think the reason some of us are taking issue with it is this: There are PNMs here ALL THE TIME who are upset because things didn't work out the way they wanted. There are a ton of threads that are titled, "Thinking about dropping my sorority" and "Not what I thought it would be" and "Questioning my decision", etc. Here's the difference though... the majority of the time, girls complain because:
1) They don't feel as if their sisters are welcoming and accepting.
2) The chapter is kind of boring and not energetic about much of anything.
3) They don't do many philanthropy projects.
4) They don't go out that often and aren't as social as other chapters.
5) The worst bid day shirts! (just kidding)
6) The members' BACs are higher than their GPAs.
And some feel that there is no sense of sisterhood.
The chapter you're a part of seems to have all of the things that a great sorority should be.
I can understand that in the beginning, it's natural to have doubts. And I know you've said you want to give the chapter a chance... so please do that! Don't get caught up in them having lower dues (when you don't know the reasons why). And don't feel that it's devastating that the chapter has to COB. Many chapters do. Something I would encourage you to do is to ask questions! And not of us, but of the sisters. That's what they're there for.. to help you through the process.
