I wrote you a big long message a few days ago, but it wouldn't post
Most importantly, I wanted to assure you that many many Beta Sigma Phis will be so proud and so supportive of your efforts to spread our ideals to younger women. You are doing a wonderful thing for your self, your community, and the sorority....(and YES, it IS a sorority).
Please do not give up! Ignore the skepticism and down-right negativity that came from the chapter member, and make the most of this experience.
Everyone here is pulling for you.
