First, congratulations on your bid. I hope you loved the parties, love the house, and love the sisters in it. You've worked hard for it.
Now, let's talk about the above post of yours. You do have a house, don't you? Do you honestly think that YOUR dues will cover all of its upkeep? Of course not - you're a junior, and more sensible than that. Beautiful is rarely inexpensive. Let me explain:
It's those lame, ancient alumnae who genuinely believe in the standards, creed, symphony, whatever behind your sorority who are donating money of their own free will to keep all of their sorority houses across the country (or two) looking fine and being insured, etc. It's those lame, ancient alumnae who have been working sight unseen in the kitchens, offices, and other rooms, making sure that the sisters have time to entertain the PNMs without too much worry. It's those lame, ancient alumnae who volunteer at each school, your GLO philanthropies, and write recs for the PNMs, so they can enjoy the benefits of being in a sorority.
It's those same lame, ancient alumnae who, after donating much of their time and money,
care enough about that chapter (and others) to keep an eye on Recruitment and hope that the chapter did well.
Whether you decide to do so or not, you owe each of those lame, ancient alumnae a huge apology. Without them, there would
be no fairly run greek system, there would be no gorgeous houses, there would be no lovely parties, and, for those who are currently New Members who do not fully appreciate the work of those alumnae, there may be no initiation.
You've gotten through life thus far expressing yourself as you'd like. It's time to understand that the feelings of others count, too. It's a sign of being a truly appreciated sorority woman.
Good luck in your New Member period.
