Saying goodbye
I've decided to halt my pursuit of membership in Beta Sigma Phi. It's upsetting, because you guys have been wonderful... and are exactly why I was encouraged to pursue membership in the first place and why I've remained interested for this long. I appreciate all that you all have done-- the encouragement, the assistance in finding chapters in the area, and the openness. I wish that your example would be what existed at international headquarters.
I've felt like an absolute idiot trying to do this Friendly Venture. Women have asked about the organization, and my lack of education (due to no ability to pledge) leaves me with no information. I don't like being clueless, but I've hit a brick wall, and don't have the knowledge to provide any more information. Nor do I have any support, as my emails have gone unanswered. To me, that's an answer about whether my membership is welcomed. I'm certain that individual members feel differently-- but it's pretty clear that the organiation's higher-ups really don't care one way or the other.
I wish you all the best.
Take care,
Mel.
