I think this statement applies to a lot of situations. i have been asked for money so many times by my chapter and every time i have politely explained that i was unemployed/employed but barley able to cover my own expenses that i can give a few bucks. So much so that i have a girl call me, ask me for money and explain to me how i can budget my money. ( its really hard to Budget money when you make like 400 a month and rent is 500) Now she was probably some new student who was just doing what others asked her, but i can not beleive the attempts people have made.
This also goes with time. I have been hit up for volunteering and there are causes that i think are worthy, but if i have limited time or simply my energy goes to job hunting and can not be given to all the activities that come along. BUt also with time, when i was an active there were a lot of sisters who would call me unsisterly cause i did not do what i thought they should do. IE, i didn't go to their church activity, or i did not take their section of the class that we are both taking. I mean, it is just plain rude to think that your issue is more important that other peoples. Their issue might be good, however it might NOT be RIGHT FOR ME!!!
