YES! Please drop! If you have such a bad attitude about an organization that went out of their way to give you a bid--then please just drop! You have no idea how many women would have loved to have been in your shoes! Seriuosly, what's with all these "new members" who keep wanting to drop? I just see it as a sign of immaturity and selfishness.

Good grief. Bad attitude? Where in this:

is there any suggestion of a bad attitude? Having questions does not necessarily equal having a bad attitude. It might be a bad attitude, it might financial or it might just be normal second thoughts that lots of GCers who love their GLOs have admitted to having.

At least hear someone out before you jump down their throats.

I get it. Every time I see a "I want to quit" thread pop up I get so frustrated because it seems like there is a new one every day. If I typed what I was thinking I would have been banned long ago.
And fwiw- she did start a 2nd thread airing her "reasons" (she's not BFFs with everyone in her chapter yet) so als's response may not have been solely based on the first post of this thread.

I get that too, I really do. But the point is, you don't type what you're thinking, you wait and see what more there is to the story before you dive in, and then you can gauge whether your initial thoughts were on the mark or not.

Nope. als's response was made about 3 hours before the next post in this thread or the (identical)first post in the other thread, so it was based solely on her assumptions.

Didn't think to go back and look at that.

Maybe it's because I'm pretty sick of seeing, "should I drop" or "how do I go to the other sorority that dropped me because this chapter isn't the right fit for me" more often than not. You may think I am jumping down her throat. I won't apologize for that. Believe it or not--I knew her next response would be something like what she just posted. Rarely is it about money. Another thing is if it WAS about money, then it should have been addressed before accepting a bid. These young ladies work hard and go through a lot just to have women like this tell them that they aren't good enough to be their sisters.

Except she never said they weren't good enough to be her sisters. You supplied that for her.

I think you're getting a distorted view from atop that high horse you're riding.
