exactly. We were having this same discussion in another thread. search under honeychile's name & the word "retention."
I don't think that's the issue in the OP's case though, I think she's going through a post initiation letdown which I and many others can relate to, no matter how "hard' or "easy" your pledging was. Even if you're working your butt off - you're a pledge and so there's extra attention paid to you (even if it's negative). It makes you special. Once you intiate and you're just another brother/sister, you have to find a way to cope with not being special because of your status anymore.
REE1993, I'm confused - did your GSS chapter give out bids in the same way as an NPC?? If not, then yes, obviously you would have to show you were fit for membership in some way.
