I would feel bad about deactivating completely, maybe not next year but after i graduate. I don't want to give up my pin! At the same time the "greek scene" doesn't interest me very much anymore, esp since most of my closest friends aren't greek (except the few girls in my chapter I am very close to).. and its soooo expensive.
this is such a hard choice  |
I hate to say it, but I hardly consider "not being interested in the greek scene anymore" a valid reason to go on emergency alum status.
Joining a GLO, whether it's NPC, IFC, NPHC, local, whatever shouldn't be treated like a club that you can choose to come and go as you please because something doesn't interest you now, but you might like being an alum later.
If you don't want to spend the money, and you don't feel it's "worth it" just deactivate and open up the slot for your chapter to find someone who really is.
I find it hard to believe that in a chapter of 100+ women you can't find anyone there who is interested in things that you are that have nothing to do with the "binge drinking scene".
And for $1000+ per semester, I would assume, or at least HOPE that your chapter has more than a couple activities per year. Or was that you only chose to attend a couple of events per year? If it's that your chapter only holds a couple events per year, you might want to have a talk with your exec board to see where all the chapter's dues go to.
