Thank you so very much for sharing your story. You are bringing some much needed credit back to this forum!
I wanted to comment on the lack of connection that so many PNMs feel. It really makes me crazy that someone can decide that there was no connection- and drop out!- after one or two parties. If the chapter has 100 members, and the PNM has met 3-6 over 1-2 parties, then they have only met 3-6% of the chapter!!
Please understand that I am not coming down on you hard for that, but instead use you as the point that it is best to stick things out and give chapters a chance! It is almost as if some PNMs say "I didn't feel a connection" but what they really mean is "I was too good for that chapter." Your story is a testament that it may not be best for one to trust that "no connection" thing after such a short time. Heck, we enourage new members to stick it out for several weeks to build those relationships. To steal from KSUViolet- "It takes time."
Thank you, thank you for showing everyone that there is sisterhood everywhere, and that "all it takes is one."
Applause.
ETA: Oh and congrats to you and ADPi!
