Dear Amy: I am a graduate student and a founding member (as well as an officer) of an on-campus club dedicated to social justice and activism.
This newly-formed club has earned us high praise and recognition by our department and by the neighboring community.
I am happy to be a part of something bigger than myself.
I am having serious issues with our club president's superhero complex, however. She makes EVERYTHING about her ego and control, under the guise of doing so for everyone else's benefit.
She shows little respect for the rest of us in the club, dominating conversations, ignoring other's opinions, making decisions without putting it to a vote (which we agreed to do upon forming), and making us look foolish by undermining the rest of us publicly.
This group is about more than just her, and so I think I need to leave. I believe that others will probably follow me. I thought we could do some good work together.
I have spoken to others in the group and they all express feeling fed up.
How can we change the direction of this group? Or is it not worth the effort, since our president does not care what we have to say, anyway?
