We're human
There are some very good comments already written above. As an alum that saw this 25 years ago, I can assure you that the same questions will be asked 25 years from now.
College and your GLO are a trainng ground for life. Just as there is drama and problems in life, your GLO will reflect them also. You are not going to be best friends with everyone and there will be those that you may have problems with. But we are all joined together in our love for our organization and its ideals----that's what forms our common bond. And believe me, that bond will last.
There will always be some that just don't fit. Our recruitment process won't always make it possible to know that until afer they've already joined. It is a brave woman who can admit that and leave. Conversely, we also have to face it when we have to ask someone to leave that we were wrong on our side. We have to recruit honestly----not just tell about parties, but about activities, time commitment and responsibilities. That does not necessarily mean all the "drama."
College is hard work! Learning how to priortize your time, classes, activities, schedule and finances is hard! Everyone has to give in at times, including our sisters, boyfriends, friends and families. Life is a learning process and you have to learn to deal with all its aspects.
Unfortunately, finances can restrict some women from joining. Many know when they give join that they will have to sacrifice to pay the bills----just like real life. Money will restrict you from doing many things your entire life.
And the most important----membership is not just during college, it is forever. The lifetime commitment is the most rewarding of all. College is only the beginning!
