Back From My Second Meeting

Hi All,

I just got home from my second meeting with a chapter here in Vancouver. Once again, I had a fantastic time with these women who made me feel so welcome -- I just can't believe it. However, I have to say that being a member of this chapter would make me feel out of place. Not only am I lots younger than the women in the chapter, most of the women are very well-off compared to me. Just sitting in their business meeting and listening to the kinds of plans and social events they have made me feel like a pauper. I'm trying to think of a delicate way to bring this up, but I can't seem to think of one. The women in this chapter have been gracious and have welcomed me with open arms. I even got the unofficial invitation to join them tonight (I'm going home for Christmas and won't see them until January; they were planning to invite me at the December meeting).

I'm torn. I really want to be a part of Beta Sigma Phi, but I'd love it if I were in a chapter with women who are starting out in life, just as I am. I've tried sending letters to the women on the prospective members list, but so far no one has responded to my letter. I can't seem to drum up any interest at all on campus, and I don't know anyone else in town to pursue for membership.

Even though I had a wonderful night tonight, I'm feeling very conflicted and very sad. Any kind words or suggestions you can offer would be appreciated.
