Making a Change:

This is me royally pissed off.
due to

This is my announcement that I am leaving APO. I’m not getting what I wanted out of this group so I have to leave. I’m writing this to everyone so that you can understand why and hopefully learn and change. Note: not all of this applies to every person, but a lot applies to a lot of people. The learning part is one of the reasons for leaving. The initial group is very unwilling to learn from someone who knows what they are doing. I might teach a way that you don’t like, but it’s proven to work.

 

Secondly, I joined for the leadership and the service. When I was given leadership, I was also given restrictions as to what I could do. I was told NOT to run events with APO and Sigma Nu. Sigma Nu is far more established than APO, therefore has a lot more resources to offer. This is community service and not the breakfast club. Service should be open to any and all people regardless of color, creed, or organization. This is one thing that truly annoyed me, and hopefully other people. This leads me to my next point.

 

There is a clear line where the initial group is and everyone that joined. The initial group acted in a certain way and have grown very accustomed to each other and their ways. They are not very open to changing the way things are done, even if the other way has proven success. The fellowship events are designed around their liking and are hosted at places that they live or visit frequently. For instance, Sean’s cabin is an inappropriate place to host a conference. It needs to be somewhere other than someone’s house that’s far away from campus. Rush was held at Sigma Nu because we were allowed to have food there and people know where that is compared to the basement of the initial group. There was a low turnout because people don’t know APO, not because it was at our house.

 

Another point on leadership. I asked several times for people to join the service committee and no one did. This reflects on people not wanting to have to deal with both leadership and service. That’s two of three strikes. I don’t know what many of you joined for, but I recommend you consider what you have gotten into before you continue farther. I have seen many people join the wrong organizations because it looked good from a distance.

 

This is an idea of my opinion towards this group. I hope you can all work past the problems and get it to work. If not, I’m sorry to say that it will go down in flames. I request that no one try and reply to this or text me or talk to me about leaving, it is my final decision and I can’t offer anything further for this group until such a time that either the initial group is gone or things change. Neither will happen in my career here so just let this be the end. I know that people will continue to talk about me and this letter and other things after this so I won’t ask that no one brings it up further, just don’t bother me with it and avoid slandering my name to others because I have a good reputation with other groups because they like the way I handle things, efficiently.

 

Thank you,

He is a horrible person to whom I've been nothing but nice too.
Fellowship is to me as APO is to Cindy. It's pretty much my baby. I love it to death.
I've tried to get rooms in the Student Center for events like movie days, but it never works out so I have them here. Plus, I will admit, I am lazy. OF COURSE I WANT TO HAVE STUFF HERE. However, most of the time I do it is ME scheduling it and michelle and cindy knowing is usually an afterthought.

He never has done anything efficiently. As far as I know he's never done the paperwork (which, let's face it, I haven't either but I have STARTED! ). Trevor never notified us of cancellations which IS his job, despite what he told us when Children's Hospital stuff was canceled.

He has never been nice. Most of his emails have been as rude as possible, this one included.


And asking us to not respond? That is what a coward does. No brave martyr has EVER said "please don't kill/maim me for my opinions".
So stop acting like a martyr, Trevor.


And his reputation? He never had a good one. Everyone I've mentioned his name to thinks he's a jerk.

In short: I am angry at what Trevor has said. I'm sorry for ever giving him the benefit of the doubt. He never deserved it.
