Thoughts about leaving

I am starting this thread so that younger posters on here might realize that becoming a bit frustrated with your group doesn't mean that you should give it up.

I would be willing to bet that at least 90% of us have had thoughts about leaving our organizations at one point or another. I considered it more than once, but I now know if I had, it would have been a huge mistake, and I would really regret it.

So veterans, please share: What made you think that you were at the breaking point? What got you through the bad times? What do you know now that you wish you had known then?

I almost left when I was president. I couldn't handle all the stress of having no privacy and constantly being dragged into house crap when I needed to study or relax.

Why did I stay? I realized that my best friends were (and still are!) Phi Mus and I could not turn my back on something that had given me so much. I also realized that there were women who supported me through everything, and to leave Phi Mu would be totally unfair to them.

If I could do it all over again, I probably would have stepped down as president. There were other things in my life that I needed to be focusing on at the time, and what I thought were Phi Mu-related problems were really just distractions that were keeping me too busy to deal with the heavy stuff.
