Many of us have probably had a bad experience with one brother or another
at some time. That's no reason to leave a chapter. Some people are
harder to get along with than others and sometimes people say things
because they are having a lot of other problems and they're taking it out
on people, but don't necessarily mean all of what they say. One time
there was a brother in my chapter that publicly insulted me on a campus
newsgroup and said numerous things that were not true. I was very upset
by this and also said things in an e-mail to the person that were kind of
mean. But I continued to be active in the chapter and just avoided that
person as much as possible. That person had gone inactive that
quarter and the next, but about 8 months later, I moved in the
appartment she was staying in. She was moving out, but I ended up having
to talk to her because I was buying some furniture from her and she had
stuff in my room after I moved my stuff in. Anyway, it was not as hard as
I expected and she basically acted like the whole incident had never
happened. She's still not really active, but she did come to some events
at the beginning of the quarter.
So my advice is, just try to avoid the person as much as you can and let
the person cool off or whatever. Many people forgive and forget. And
maybe that person will always be like that towards you. Some people can
be pretty petty. But don't hold it against the chapter because one person
is causing problems. I hope you can work things out.
