VibrantEnchantress & Snazzylady:
Both of you have valid points, and I agree with of you.
I am very active. I was president this last year, and will remain active until I die.
I am not trying to generalize, but anything worth having, takes hard work. I just can't see how anyone who didn't go through anything can really appreciate what they have worked for. Sure, they'll be excited the first semester or two, but when the real work comes, they become dust in the wind or seem to all of a sudden have other obligations or just don't come through for the organization. I've seen it happen too many times on my campus. (not in my organization)
Nevertheless, I have seen dedicated members considered "paper", who work harder than anyone, so this discussion really will depend on individual perceptions and experiences.
