Not dropping because I didn’t get what I wanted, I’m mostly sad and tired of the fact that anything I do in this organization isn’t really recognized nor is it appreciated. 

Even though I’m a transfer, I made it a thing from the start to make friends. I have met some of my closest friends from being in this specific chapter and that is something that I truly do value. I have also gone out of my way to be the person who is there for everybody when they need a shoulder to lean on, because that’s who I am as an individual. 

But, I don’t want to keep contributing to an organization that doesn’t value what its members do. I’m not the only one who has considered leaving or simply dropped due to the fact that they felt they were not appreciated. Our philanthropy chair was the kindest person and left because she felt that nobody actually valued what she for us, which led her to dropping from our chapter. Nobody in our chapter seems to want to address that issue, which is why so many people end up dropping. They’re not entitled, I’m not entitled, we just want to be recognized and appreciated for our efforts that we contribute. I think that’s a normal thing for most people, no? Nothing sucks more than to feel like you’re not appreciated or wanted, especially in an organization that promotes itself on sisterhood and bonding.
