Am I the only one who does not truly know what Organization she is talking about? What are "unladylike" colors? I'm lost.

Eitherway, whether you are in an NPC, NPHC, etc. (because I have no clue what she is a member of)....You may eventually realize that your organization is so much bigger than yourself. It sounds stupid but, it really is true! I tell EVERYONE who even THINKS about going Greek....It may seem great to go for the "Biggest" "Brightest" or "Best" GLO out there but, reputations are different everywhere...go where you feel comfortable. If you are a member of a National Greek Letter Organization, there are more benefits than I could even list. No National GLO is bad. They all have their ups and downs.

Take today, for example. I did a community service project for the MDA/ Jerry's Kids. I only had a week or so to raise money (since I joined this event late in the game). I sent out a message to my sisters on our sisterhood listserv and even called a few. In about a week's time-I made nearly $500. I knew I could count on my sisters. That is just one example....I really hope you rethink this...Besides...if EVERYONE in a particular organization didn't care about bettering themselves or there appearance-the organization wouldn't thrive....Good Luck...I hope you find what you are looking for!

Posts like this crack me up! Unfortunately the internet allows people to cowardly hide behind computers and screen names. My thing is, if the ladies in your chapter were so old, sloppy, and unkept, why were you attracted to them at all in the first place and why would you even consider pursuing membership if that's what you saw? Ya see this is what happens when someone joins an org for all the wrong reasons or when it wasn't in their heart to begin with. Don't try to slam an organization because of your lack of judgement. It's not their fault; it's your fault. And it sounds to me like you don't even know your org beyond your own chapter and area. To network, you have to get out there and meet people and educate yourself. No matter what happens, you cannot join another org so just give that up and either find a way to love your entire org (not just a chapter) or move on. Simple.
