Last night I had to go back to the sorority house for a meeting that I was told would officially cancel my membership in the sorority. I thought I'd already done this, but I showed up anyway. The adviser and the other girls who were in the meeting with me tried for fifteen minutes to convince me to stay in and give it one more shot. Obviously, my mind was already made up, and I apologized and said that I wasn't going to be coming back. The adviser explained that they had recognized some of the problems within the sorority and that they were working on it and that I shouldn't take this decision lightly. Duh. Then the other one said this: "And I mean, you have such a great voice. We'd really hate to lose that."
Seriously?
The only reason this girl gave for wanting me to stick around was the fact that I can sing. They talk about how they stand for good character and integrity and sisterhood, yet they guilt tripped me the entire time, and made it seem like the only reason they even wanted me to come back at all was because I could sing. Well that, and it makes the sorority look bad to have people leave. That meeting solidified my earlier decision to leave.
Although I'm annoyed at how things were handled by the sorority, I'm relieved to be done with everything. I've left the building, and I've taken my great voice with me.
