Like Horshack for "Welcome Back, Kotter"* "Ooh! Ooh! I want to answer!
First off, this really happened to me. REALLY. The chapter on my campus was chock full of members that I was not "feeling." For real. I felt, as did others, that they didn't have the best interest of the org. (as a whole) at hand. They were all about some petty-type stuff. On the other hand, they did have programs that they were doing and they were really trying to make things happen. In the mean time, I did have the opportunity to get cool with members of another org. They were cooler than a fan! BUT, being cool was not my main focus. It was not the org. that I wanted. Besides that, they did NOTHING as far as community service, programs, etc. WTH?
I had to remind myself CONSTANTLY that, even if I hold/held a grudge against the members of the chapter of the org. that I wanted to join, the org. was MUCH bigger than them. For some reason, I don't think that THEY realized it, though. I would love to continue, but DISCRETION is KEY!
