Thanks AEPhi Sierra
I understand where you are coming from, and I am sure everyone is really in the same boat. As I said though, my only biggest pet peeve is when I plan stuff, people say they are coming and then never show up. I would like to plan a lot of fun things for the summer, perhaps a trip to Great Adventure or even an overnight camping trip so we really have a chance to get to know each other. But if people bail on little events like a happy hour, it is hard for me to envision something bigger taking place. I thought of maybe getting a "committee" together to plan stuff, that way people who are really interested in seeing this group grow would come out and get to know each other initially. I am planning on checking out the larger NYC Greek group at one of their upcoming events. I can really see how it can be overwhelming for people though going out to meet new random people for the first time though. And the reason I am working to form this group is because I want something smaller and less overwhelming to be associated with. I heard the other NYC Greek group is really large. When I went to the one panhel event I went to, it was the same way and was really overwhelming. ~ALlison
