Yeah! That's what I mean! Everyone else can sing together and sort of bond that way because they all can take for granted (because they were collegiate members) that they know what to sing and what's going on. It's not that easy for an AI because you're on your own and cannot just fall back on your collegiate experience. It takes extra effort on your part. And perhaps a willingness to feel like a dork for awhile (like I do/did) until you're more familiar with protocols and procedures.
I am most certainly not whining or complaining. I love Tri Delta and am thrilled to be a member. And all of the Tri Deltas I've met so far are amazingly welcoming and gracious. It's just that there are extra hurdles and difficulties for AIs that may not even cross your mind as you're envisioning your future membership. These are a few.
