The Community

Greetings all,

Having been a part of this community for some time now, I wanted to put a few thoughts here about this subject.

One of the difficult things about joining a community is finding the right "fit" for yourself, which is difficult in itself. A bit of advice to those who are seeking a house, organization which you want to join is, make sure you are certain that you fit into this particular organization, rather than just reading about it, see how open they are to your ideas by joining the elists, speaking to some who may already be a part of it, etc.

The worst thing you can do (and I have seen this many, many times) is to try to join several houses, or organizations at the same time, rather than load up on so many trying to find a fit, follow the above, and make sure you have enough time to work with the organization you devote yourself to. No one likes an inactive member as well, so another good piece of advice I can give is, don't enter an organization if you already know you do not have the time to put into it, its pointless to want to be a member, just so you can say you're a member.

And finally, if you are feeling like any organization or house that you are involved in is not what you thought it was, or is different than when you started out, do not be hesitant to resign, its always better to leave rather than pent up emotions in some sort of blaze of glory quitting scene. For all of you here, please know what you're getting yourselves into, research and make sure you want to be involved in something
