Everyone in our chapter gets 2 mental health days per semester. Not good for ritual or nat'l visits. Then this year, my senior class and I instigated the senior skip, and we ducked out on chapter meeting to go socialize together. It was right after election takeover, so no one had a position they needed to speak for at chapter. We declared it, the chapter followed. It was a great needed stress break from what was becoming hard.

To those who aren't seniors... When you've been active for four years and you see that light at the end of the tunnel it is very hard to be overly committed to your chapter. I love AST, but there was a point where I could not stand to be in the same room as my sisters. They are wonderful people, but I didn't want to spend hours upon hours at chapter dealing with issues that I would be gone for. I didn't care about fall retreat and those things. great for the chapter, but I had better stuff to do. I think that there are times when seniors need to suck it up, but then, if you don't help them somehow, you are screwing them and you lose them when they first graduate. A time you don't want them to leave with negative feelings. Essentially, i feel like there should be consideration for these women, and as you go through it, you really begin to see how tough it really is, but then it is too late to change, you are alum, you can only give your opinion... just my 2cents

Lol you said it sooooo well! I used to get pissed when the seniors would start to lose interest, and think they didn't care about the chapter. Now I'm like "Oh man I know what they were thinking."

I love my ritual and initiation... but dayum I've been through 8 of them!
