OK. Last year was my freshman year and I missed social rush. I was so sad about this, and then my boss at the time told me she was an alum for a service sorority, and while I wasn't really all that into service. I was totally looking for sisterhood to help me through my freshman year. (My boyfriend of four years joined a fraternity(SigEp) and I saw how much fun he was having, and what a great group of guys he got involved with) So I only got to attend one night of rush (service night) but the girls really seemed like a great group, and then bid day came and I got a bid. So I thought well it was obviously meant to be. I was VP of my pledge class, and I've done so much since I've been active to improve our sisterhood. This semester I was elect as Development Coordinator which is basically Alum relations, and expansions officer. I've given up countless hours of my time to plan an up coming alum dinner/fundraiser which included dinner, entertainment, and gifts for them. What was costing us a fortune was only going to cost them a $20 donation. I thought everything was going great until I received an email from our Alumnae Representative telling what a horrible job I was doing and how I she couldn't believe we had the nerve to ask the alums for money. She said they had founded us and that should have been enough, but what started out as 13 since I've been active has grown to 70 sisters. I just don't know what to do. I considered looking into a social sorority(since were not panhellnic we can join both) were I wouldn't be treated so bad, but now I'm just wondering if all alums act that way?
