Have any of you girls heard about the
Red Hat Society?
The Red Hat Society is very prevalant in my area among elderly women, although women under 50 can also join (wearing a pink hat & lavender dress instead of the red hat & purple dress of the elder members).
Both my mother and (deceased) grandmother are/were members of the Red Hat Society, & now my sister & I are expected to join. I have nothing against the society but I really don't want to join, nor do I want to disappoint my mother (or my grandmother's memory). The pressure isn't just coming from my mother but my sister as well who is excited to join.
I've told both my mother & sister that I wouldn't want to join the society & not be an active member as it wouldn't be fair to whichever group I did join. (Presumably the same one as my sister, mother, & grandmother; as there are several groups in my area.)
Honestly, if I found extra time in my schedule I'd rather spend it being more active w/ Sigma Kappa, not a society that means nothing to me! Why won't she listen?
