Octber 22, 2000 We had somewhat of an exec retreat tonight for my service fraternity. We went to Godfather's Pizza and we took over the conference room. I get really frustrated with my chapter because all I want to do is strengthen our chapter, and I know that there are others who feel the same way. The problem that I have come across time and time again, is the fact that the people in my chapter are really boring. I have done as much as I can to help our chapter grow, and when I try to bring up a topic that needs to be discussed, like the fact that we are a service frat and we should at least make a requirement for the members to serve a set amount of service hours in a semester, I get the same old spiel. "We'll talk about that later." I have brought this particular topic up many times, and I have always gotten the same response.. "This isn't the time for that"… "We don't have time to talk about that right now" … "We set up another date to talk about" Well…when?! I am fed up to the point where I don't know if this group is for me. I have really gotten to know the people in the chapter, and they are all great and wonderful people. I have spent much time with a majority of them…but I don't know if it's worth my time and effort to stay in the chapter. Maybe, if I leave, they'll finally see how valuable I am…but as of now, the cost of staying in the chapter exceeds the rewards that I see. I'll give it to the next semester to see if there are any changes with the mentality of the group, and maybe I'll see that it really is worthwhile to stay in the group. Tonight was the first night of the winter guard that is being started. I was really excited when I heard about this group starting. A kid from one of the old floors that I used to live on is starting the group. Dom and I are doing it together, but from what I have seen so far, this group is a joke. There is absolutely no organization…it's just a bunch of college kids pretending that they know what they are doing. However, there was this somewhat decent guy that was there, and I must admit that I wouldn't mind getting to know him better and maybe even become friends with him…
