I know exactly what you mean. Its easy to talk the talk, but walking the walking is 10 times harder. The president before me didn't realize how hard it would be, and by the first meeting it was a reality check. Am I scared?? Hell yea!!! Who wouldn't be! The title alone is enough pressure in its self. Your not just some brother that sits quiet in the corner during the meetings, you are the brother that sits at the head of the table telling your fellow brothers things that may or may not want to here. Past 2 years I have been involved in my frat, holding numerous positions and so on. Now was the time I felt to make that move. Yes I will also be involved in many other things... and most likely I will have to cut back on some of my activities or at least manage them differently but I do feel that it is something that is possible. And like I have always said before, when I held top positions, all I could ever guarantee my brothers is that I will do my ultimate best. And to them and to myself, they elected me for a reason..
I do have to say that I sometimes feel that my frat isn't your ordinary frat to say the least. We work things out a little different than others, but in the end it works out. Our frat is only 3 years old at our school, and now is when I feel we are starting to get things rolling. We may not have the large number of guys that some of the other chapters have but the fact that we aren't that big is the reason why I feel that I will have help from my fellow brothers. For us, working more together in terms of helping various areas that may seem voided works for us. Now as we grow more and more in membership, the way we run certain positions may change....
Thanks for all the good feedback.... you definitely have me thinking.. Keep it comin
btw, thanks Tom
