YES! I had a very similar experience to the other founders out there. It is a TON of work, and it takes TONS of dedication. Long meetings, heavy responsibilities for everyone, and on top of that, the group is trying to build its part/image in the greek community AND give itself a good reputation with the faculty and administrators....on top of trying to set up traditions and normal sorority events (and bond with a large group of ppl who you might not know as well as you would if you'd gone through the new member process together at an established chapter)!!!! It can be really overwhelming. Not to mention, most members of the Greek Community (at least at my school), simply do not understand what it takes to found a chapter, and tend to think we had it easy.
WHEW!
But in spite of all that, being a founder is AMAZING! It is simply one of the best things in the world. When we got our charter, I was so happy to be able to bring it back to my campus. I know our affiliation with KBG is something generations of sisters will cherish. Our traditions, our family lines, the things that are so special to me...they are just a start for many Kappas to come. I'll graduate college knowing I left school a better place than when I entered it, I'll know I helped create a community which so many women will treasure in the future...and I had a great time doing it!
I couldn't imagine being closer to anyone than I am with the other founding sisters...we've been through so much together and proven to each other a million times over how dedicated to each other we are. (sorry for getting so sappy there, lol, but it means a lot to me!)
