My own chapter, during the summer after I initiated, dropped in size drastically due to some strife among sisters who lived in our unofficial house. I never really knew what had gone on because I was so new. But I knew that we came back in the fall with 17 members when Total was 45 and we had been at 30 something when my class was Initiated. That fall, we took 19 new members and the chapter changed TOTALLY. Within a year, we were at Total and the chapter had done a complete turn around. I'm sure some of those 19 had reservations about joining our very small chapter, but they ended up essentially taking it over and making it into what they wanted it to be.

My point is, look around at the other PNMs and see if they are women you could develop sisterhood with as well.

YES!! Totally agree with this post.

I also agree that a new member class can totally change a chapter, over the years I have seen chapters make drastic positive change with one new member class. Please give AXO a try, really look around at Pref.

There are many storied here on GC about women who were unsure that ended up LOVING their chapter. Just give it another chance.

Hugs to you
