Ok...Serious Question

slam1874 · #1 03-15-2006, 10:45 AM

Ok, not without disclosing my chapter/school/ect. I have kind of a rant/question. I feel like Sigma Kappa is such a drag nowadays. I've only felt like this since the semester started. It's like I don't even care anymore...I don't like the stuff we do, I moreso dislike many of the people, and I'm all-around just tired of all the drama/mandatory crap/exec board people/ect.

I don't want to deactivate...I mean I still love everything Sigma Kappa is...but I just have no interest in participating with my chapter.

I'm completely frustrated. Any suggestions for me?

I hate that you aren't having a good experience with your chapter. And it makes me wonder if you aren't alone in how you feel. I'd say you could find other girls who feel similarly, and as a group, you could try to make a change. Get more involved with the social/volunteering planning so that you are more inclined to enjoy the event.

I mean, hey, it is worth a shot. You only get out what you put in!

*hug*

It happens to everyone at some point or another. I agree that if you can get involved in planning something that would be great, but it's hard to turn stuff around when you're already feeling down about it.

Two things, one find that group of sisters you get along with/hang out with the most and make it a point to plan things and do stuff. It's not necessarily a SK event, but it's with your sisters and away from the drama.

Second, try talking to someone, maybe an advisor, maybe an member of exec you trust. Don't rip on the girls who are causing the drama, but say what you feel. Perhaps it's time for a sisterhood retreat for everyone's benefit.

Ok, well the "let it burn" thing doesn't make sense to me, but the rest does.

I'm involved in planning a small amount of stuff, which is fine, because I had a HUGE position before this, and I had my share of planning. So the planning stuff is good. It involves me.

I've found that group of sisters that I love and hang out with on a normal basis, outside of SK events.

I've had a good experience w/ SK. At first it was rough, and I guess as it comes to an end, it's rough too. I just feel like I'm ready to move on. I'm not saying that I'm too mature or anything, but I just feel that I can't connect with a lot of people anymore because I AM ready to move on.

Thanks for letting me vent.

what year in school are you? I know I was ready to move on from the drama after my 1st semester junior year. When I went abroad that spring, and then live an apt, my senior year, it helped a lot. Trust me we all know what you're going through. Half the reason the women at my school were pi chi's for recruitment was that we were all sick of our chapters. You could look in to getting more involved with Greek life as opposed to Sigma Kappa life.

I'm a junior, graduating after the fall 2006 semester. I feel like I'm in a senior mindset already.

And getting involved w/ greek life in general is a good idea. However at my school, greek life stuff is dominated by SK members.

Only a little bit of time to get through...I can do it. I just wanted to know if other people felt the same at some point.

Hey slam

I wasnt being a smartazz for saying let it burn... but if you listen to the song it talks about having the feeling that things are the same and the love of what was there isnt there anymore so its best to move on.
