Hi, I'm Resigning

It's nonprofessional and it's become a burden on me. I currently owe $200.08, most of the money is national dues, and a quarter of it is T-shirts and other shit I didn't need nor want, but apparently required. I gave all of my paraphernalia back, and the only thing I am getting harassed is the money. To make things short, paying (NPC sorority) back is the least of my priorities. VERY bottom of the list. I don't want to pay anything because I left with nothing nor do I want to remember anything. What will happen if I don't pay, and to what point will this turn into a legal suit?

I appreciate any response. Thank you.

Wow, just tacky. You went out of your way to mention the organization and speak disparagingly about it. I've taken the liberty of removing the GLO's name from your initial post out of respect for my NPC sisters. You didn't have to call them unprofessional and a burden. If you don't pay your bill, people usually come to collect the money. Welcome to the real world. You don't have to come on here and tell us you intend to resign. Just do it. No post needed. Go pay your bill or don't pay your bill and get collections agencies to call and bother you but, certainly don't come on Greek Chat and speak horribly about this organization.

Seems like the perfect place for this blog post.

I think by "nonprofessional" and a "burden" she meant it isn't a group that has anything to do with her future career and those are the only groups she cares to belong to or spend money on.

The organization she belongs to really isn't the point and I doubt her post will make anyone think badly of AST.

Regardless of how she meant it, it is still in bad taste to say things about an organization like that because she chose not to pay her bill.

It would be helpful if she would have mentioned how long ago she submitted her resignation. If she resigned last spring and they sent her a bill that includes this semester, and/or she still hasn't received final notice of her termination, yeah, I would be irritated too.

Good point. This is true. Even being annoyed with getting a bill, however, doesn't exactly warrant a hateful post on GC for the world to see. You are right about getting upset with bills being sent after the fact, though. I just think that with her attitude, AST dodged a bullet when she decided to resign her membership.

I agree with both of you, 33girl and als463.

1) Most people who come here complaining about their sorority and saying they want to resign usually have the courtesy to not name the group outright.

2) Even though VictorG named AST, I find it funny that she actually considered this to be an "explanation". I'm not concerned about her ruining our reputation in the least.

Well, she titled the thread "Hi, I'm resigning," which suggests she's in the process now. She also says in her explanation "I am currently a member . . . ." So I imagine that the resignation letter was sent recently.

If you really don't want to remember anything about the sorority, then you need to make a clean break. The only way to do that is to pay your bill. As long as the bill is unpaid, there's still a connection—however negative it may seem to you—to AST, because you owe them money. If you really want nothing to do with AST anymore, paying the bill should be a top priority, not very bottom of the list.
