Painful? Not at all! I'm sorry if something I said gave you that impression. Difficult, yes, but far from painful. It was difficult because many of my sorors and greek friends weren't feeling me at all. Because of the way I used to think and act, only a few of them actually took me seriously. Tearing myself away wasn't easy at first because it meant having to end some friendships with people I loved and respected (not all, but many) who put me down because of my new walk. Of course, that just confirmed that they weren't true friends to begin with, right?. I still have a few active greek friends who love me and respect my decision, even though we don't always see eye-to-eye on the issue. For me, pleasing God isn't always easy--especially when my pride, flesh, and boredom get in the way--but it's never painful. I am just so much happier when I know I make Him smile.
Thank you for your offer, but I don't think I need to go through a formal process to demit from the org... Do you?
I cut the cord in my "secret place" with God some time ago. Besides, I can never erase my membership completely, short of getting a serious case of amnesia
. After all, I made history at my chapter and I still have fond memories, good friends, and secrets. Nonetheless, greekdom is my past. Jesus is my present and my future, so greek life fits in only as a part of my testimony and witnessing. Don't worry--the org never has to worry about me changing my mind and wanting back in! LOL
Also, I didn't mention my greek affiliation for a reason. I know many "old head" posters may have already known it, but in this thread, I was careful not to draw attention to the org for those who didn't. As I stated in my initial response to frat2b, my inactivity is not a personal attack on any specific org or the members therein, but rather the action I feel I--me, Alysia--needed to take based on spiritual revelation from God. I'm at peace with my decison and I hope you can be at peace with it, too.
Should you have a desire to do so, let's continue this discussion via PM.
Thanks again, Sister!
