Now we are getting somewhere. At least you admitted to being on the defensive; I can respect that. When speaking (publicly, in written form, etc) it is important to know who your audience is and how they like to receive information. Some people are audio learners, some visual. The point is, what may be clear to you is not clear to others. You have to learn how to communicate to your audience.
Perhaps you are right: maybe you aren't meant for my sorority. Neither is the teaching profession if you get defensive because someone asked for clarification on something you thought was clear. Or Corporate Training. Or Sales. Or pretty much anything where you'd have to communicate and receive criticism on that communication.
Which leads me to my next question:
You've put your best foot forward in trying to get to know members, going to events, Rush, etc. My sorors seem to slice you up every chance they get. You are discouraged and demoralized. What do you do now?
