Hello Everyone!
I'm pretty new to this message board but I really enjoy reading all of your posts. I thought I could ask you guys for advice on something that has been on my mind a lot lately.
My chapter will be holding elections soon after we get back from Christmas Break. This is kind of a scary thing because we have a lot of older actives graduating in May. In fact the chapter will consist of very new members. I think that we have a great group of girls, but I'm just not sure who I see taking over positions.
In addition we recently had a big chapter issue that has resulted in some negative feelings. I was in the midst of it and some of the newer members feel like some of us older members get what we want and they have no say.We are working on this and things are slowly returning to normal.
So comes my question..when we have elections in Feb. do I run for President? I think on one hand it would be good, since I am an older member and I know what's going on. I am currently Vice President and this is my third term on executive board. On the other hand part of me feels like considering the 'power issue' maybe it's the last thing I should do. I'm also wondering if it would be better for me to not to run and to just be there if they need my help.
In addition I have some concern about the other chapter sister I have heard is running. She is a great member but during our current chapter issue I learned a lot. She said one thing at executive board and then went back on it later. She actually got up and left the exec board meeting, because she couldn't handle the tension. I can't see someone who can't take tension becoming archon...but maybe that's just me.
I have such mixed emotions because part of me really wants to do it and part of me thinks I shouldn't. In the end I really just want to do what's best for the chapter. However, I'm not sure what that is right now..
I'm so confused!
Any advice or thoughts on this situation would be very helpful!!
Thanks
