I've volunteered for my sorority as an alumnae in a variety of roles since graduating college. After thirteen years in assorted roles, I've decided to take a step back and "retire" from my current volunteer role on our regional team.
I've loved getting to know the women I've met over the years, the experiences I've had and the skills I've developed. I've enjoyed getting to travel to a number of our chapters as well as to so many regional conferences and international conventions.
But at the same time, I'm ready to take a step back and take more control of my free time. I'm ready to take a step away from the drama that inherently comes from an all-women's organization. I'm ready to be rid of what has become an obligation and not a source of enjoyment.
And, as would be the case, some of that aforementioned drama decided to rear it's head less then twenty-four hours after I tendered my "resignation" from this volunteer role which only confirmed that I had made the right decision to take a step away from the craziness.
