Lonely President
Hi,
I wanted to know if there are any other girls out there who are/were the President of their chapter, and how they dealt with the stress of it all. Before I became President, I had such a fire for my sorority. I did anything my sisters needed me for, I would drop what I was doing in a moment to help a sister, and I was one of the biggest cheerleaders for my sorority. I became President of my chapter, and all of those old feelings have dwindled. Now, I feel that the majority of my sisters fit into one of two categories: 1) They put the blame for anything that happens on me and become frustrated when I do my job and enforce rules, or 2) they are new to my sisterhood, and therefore are somewhat intimidated by me because I am the President. I have tried to persevere and open up to at least these new sisters, but I can't seem to shake the feeling that they aren't completely comfortable around me. Don't get me wrong, I am a very silly person and light-hearted, and have tried to remain true to myself in that sense. It has just become harder and harder for me to even want to help sisters anymore, and I hate myself for feeling this way. Has anyone else ever experienced something like this? If so, do you think there's any way for me to fix this? The last thing I want is to leave my sorority (when I'm done with the presidency) feeling like I wasted my time, when I know I've had so many good experiences before I became President.
