Well I've been talking to my roommate about it all because she's our alumae chair; she makes sure all seniors are on track to become alum and anything to do with current/future alum - which is why I'm trusting what she says.
I've started to inform those who need to know about my transfer, and it feels good. Almost like I'm a little more free of the stress. I'm still worried about the chapter (a lot of non-officers have a very rebellious mentality; many went out drinking after formal, against rules. It was considered an after-party, which we weren't allowed to have), because I really do want this chapter to be the best it can be, and I know it has a long way to go before that. I hope the chapter doesn't fall apart, but with the mentality many members have, it's a possibility.
But then we have members like my roommate. She knows what two positions she wants the next two years, both of which directly involve new members. This way, she can help teach the new members the correct mentality to have about the chapter, and all of the little things that go on behind the scenes in the chapter, so there's actually a future for it.
I'm both nervous and excited for the chapter, and I know that if we start recruiting members to actually show leadership potential, it's going to go really far.
