HELP! Election Stresses!!!

[ADPiViolets]

Hi Ladies,

I really need some good opinions.
I am running for NMC, and have wanted this position since I myself was an Alpha. I am now a junior, and would have this position my senior year.
I love the idea of being able to educate new members about my sorority, which I love SO MUCH. I want to welcome them in with open arms, to put to rest any fears they might have and answer any questions.
Since I have been telling people that I am going for NMC, I have been receiving mixed feedback-- the majority of which is negative. It is not negative to me, but to the position of NMC all together.
Everyone tells me that it is a HUGE time commitment, and that I shouldn't go for it unless my school schedule will be accomidating to it. Quite honestly, I have heard more negative things about it than positive. They tell me about how the past couple of NMCs have been completely overwhelmed and stressed out, and that they don't realize just how much work it is when they take the position on.
So now, I think I am questioning my ability to be our chapter's next NMC. I am torn, and have no idea what to do.
We are at total, with 50 +1 girls in our chapter. The largest group in our chapter is the seniors... about 20... all of which will be leaving this year... meaning, we'll be taking a very large amount of girls during recruitment next year.
I don't want my grades to suffer. I understand that every position is a responsibility, but I don't want to be continually busy with a new position. Yet should I give up this goal that I've had since I was an Alpha? Perhaps I was only looking at it through Rose-colored glasses.

What should I do?
