I am new to this so I was wondering if someone could give me some advice or help me.
I have been part of my chapter for 2 semesters now and I am growing very unhappy with it. There are so many things going on and it really makes me think about deactivation.
For example, our officer elections last semester for our executive board this semester reminded very much like high school. It was basically a popularity contest and the people who were actually qualified for the jobs did not get them. This is causing a lot of problems because a lot of things are not getting done that need to be.
They are very cliqueish and it seems our chapter is very divided. They are putting so much emphasis on recruiting new members instead of working on our internal problems or working on our sisterhood. Whenever I try to suggest we work on our sisterhood, my ideas instantly get shot down. Apparently that is not one of our priorities right now.
Our chapter used to be bigger, but a lot of members now do not show up to meetings or events, and I think part of it is because of what is going on. I am really tired of the fact that whenever I or someone else tries to suggest something to help our chapter the ideas get instantly shot down. I have just decided not to say anything in the meeting anymore.
This just upsets me and I am tired of it. I am really thinking about deactivation, but I love my organization, I am just not sure if I feel that way about my chapter.
