What is the hardest thing.....

The hardest thing was striving to make our chapter grow. It was so hard because with only 6 or 7 actives, how do you recruit when the other GLO has 20+? Girls went with the other chapter. We worked really hard though and now we boast about 20 actives, but it was soooo hard along the way.

This goes for any org... but if you put 52 girls in a room together, NO ONE will agree on anything unless there is much debate, complaining, and drama. For some, change was hard, especially with the older members. When you have half the house wanting change for the better and the others thinking things are fine, it's hard to convince the older members that it's not the way it used to be and we need to adjust.

I didn't have much of an issue with trying to get things done AND participate in everything possible. Still had great grades though.

Another thing that I am noticing now as an alum is that there is huge heirarchy difference in the house. People without committee heads or on exec almost feel intimidated by those in power. It's so lame because we are all equal on some level but un-positioned girls feel like they don't have a say.

The hardest thing for me was the pressure I felt from members of my family that wanted me to give their GLOs special consideration. It wasn't like they were mean about it, I just felt like I would end up hurting someones feelings. So I ended picking my own path and going DG

Time commitment was a big one. As President, it was trying to balance the interests of everyone and make decisions that would ultimately be best for the chapter.

So many things go into helping start up a chapter. I couldn't even begin to decide. Probably the hardest thing I did was being treasurer. I didn't want it, I didn't like being it, I just realized that I was the only one that could do a good job. I did a good job and now they make me the chapter advisor on financial matters after graduation..

What's the moral of the story kids? Never do a good job at something you don't enjoy

But it's okay now, I don't have to do anything besides tell people what a good (or bad) job they're doing and how they can do it better. I have no plans to help collect past-due dues in the near future.

I dont know how many of you have gone through a rally rough year, but we did last year and I almoste considered dropping out. It is really tough when your houses are university owned and everyone in the off-campus party houses drop out and it seems like you have no fun and its just work. Luckily I have more character than to quit something I put soo much time into. But If your chapter ever goes through a bad year, you will know what im talking about.

When I was in my local sorority the whole experience of being active was tough. I felt as though I was the only person doing anything (you all can see the thread I had here.)

However, FGP taught me how to be unselfish. Ironically, it was my selfishness that brought me to the sisterhood and to my sisters I am eternally greatful.

Leaving my boys, the school and the chapter to serve the country, and go to war....

No regrets just hard to do..

The hardest thing for me is getting sterotyped.... a lot of people think that most greeks are spoiled rich kids, party animals, and very permiscuious (sp???).. and in my opinion that is the farthest thing from the truth... I mean every chapter will have a "bad apple" however I know plenty of greeks that are the farthest things from the sterotypes!!
