Eight Brothers Walk Into a Bar…

I understand what you are saying Jennai Ell and I have to say that really it doesn’t bother me that my chapter changed after I left. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been back to see them but once for a very brief visit and have distanced myself (for other reasons that I’m sure eventually we’ll go into here but not now). Or maybe it’s because I was feeling the drift while I was there and felt it was no longer a part of me before I left. I don’t know.

What I was trying to get at was the rift that was put in my active chapter when we got a group of newbies. We got a group of new members and those members had a different take on things that changed the way we were while we were active. This caused at least 2 members (that I can remember) to go inactive, a few actives to go conditional and a few more to completely disengage in the chapter only coming to meetings to keep their active status until they graduate so they could be considered “alumni.”

Maybe my question is more like: how do we get the experienced actives to understand and be open to change and how can we get the new actives to understand and be open to what exists so as to not cause rifts in the chapter?

Ooof… that’s a tough one.
