removing Officers

[GreekLetterGirl]

I know that this should go in Chapter operations but I thought I may get a few more responses in here

I just needed some advice... I was on exec and then due to circumstances such as switching majors having more credits than I thought I would getting ready for grad school, GRES, possibly taking grad classes in the fall and not being full time ( which you need to be in order to live in the house) I got removed from my office ( which I thought would happen) This happened before and the girl it happened to was never recieved warmly again... I know that I need to look out for my self and that everone reaches a point in time where they have to grow up and I guess I reached mine, but still.... i guess i am having mixed feeling about this I mean I know that I have to grow up but what ever ... any advice ?

In the world of Tarot, everyone fears the Death card. They believe it means someone or something will die. What it actually symbolizes is change. In change, something must die and we will grieve that loss.

You are moving forward in your life. As you do, the mutual needs of you and your sorority will change along with you. There is a sense of acceptance in your post rather than anger or bitterness.

It sounds like you are prepared for the change and ready to accept a new role be it in life or in your sorority. Sure, things will be different, but that doesn't mean they won't be better. When the time comes for you to accept or regret an alumni status, that too will lead you in another direction.

It sounds like you know and understand what is happening. What you are feeling is what so many others have gone through.
You will be fine once both your sisters and you accept your new role. If you are proud of the years you have spent with your sisters, that's all that really matters.

I would just stand up at the next chapter meeting and speak from your heart. Tell your sisters that you realize you were not giving as much time to your office as you should have, and you do understand their decision (because it sounds like you do) and assure them that you still want to give as much time as you can. It sounds like the last girl this happened to took it too personally...sometimes it has NOTHING to do with that. It takes a lot more guts and caring to admit you are overextended and take some things off your plate, then it does to keep muddling through because you are too proud to admit it. Good luck.
