I have belonged to three guilds and they were different. One was great until the clique formed. I was very active and all, but didn't like the problems with the "clique", so I quit. I then joined a new guild, but we moved soon after, so didn't get much use out of it. I joined one here in Ocala, but they were down right rude to me, so I quit after attending several meetings. I probably won't join another because of these problems. I like to get involved and they didn't want me to "interfere" with the way they were doing things.
Go and see how you feel about the group. Try to get involved with their activities and see if you fit. I'm sorry to say, but old ladies are as bad as teenagers about new people!
