OK. I talked to my son & he is cool w/me going to Angelo. So now I have to ask-I have never had direct exposure to this chapter before. I know my stuff & really want to help them out since they've been w/o alum support for a while, but don't want them to feel threatened, or to think I'm coming in to take something that is "theirs." Any advice on how I can best make them receptive to my involvement?

I have FIRST HAND experience with this!!!! (We had a CCD come in, who was from a recently chartered chapter) We had been doing some things a bit differently (just different because we have a smaller chapter, and it worked better for us)

She wanted us to do things HER way, when in reality, the things didn't work for our chapter.

So, I would suggest that you approach the women and say, upfront "I want to help you, in any way possible, Please don't think I want to come in and change everything for you women. I want to do whatever I can to help you to be as strong of a chapter as I know you can be" and so on.

Just try to be as willing as possibly to be flexible with your ideas, and to incorporate their chapter ways with maybe more "efficient" ways.

I hope that helps a bit?

I won tickets to go see the Moody Blues next Thursday.. owww owwww :D :D

Why must it be so freaking hot?! Okay, well, today is not that hot, but the humidity is killing me. The A/C in my car is broke, so I look and feel nasty anywhere I go.

Met a cute boy in my class....he's married :(

Met a nice boy in my class....he's awfully short. lol

So glad it's Friday!

ughh...so much to do...tan, work, workout, drive to the parents house in VA....ughhh!

Random complaint~ my ex-boyfriend, who I dated long-distance for over 3 years, keeps calling me! He is in another state, we broke up on fairly good terms (he had no intentions of getting married and neither of us had any intentions of moving closer unless something like that should happen, even though we had been together for so long and everything was great between us) and he keeps calling and IM'ing me! As much as I miss him and would give for everything to be back to norm between us, I don't think its going to happen. I told him to please stop calling me, that he made this decision, so deal with it. Of course this is not the first time this has happened between us, but it is getting old! When you reach 27, its time to grow up, right? What in the world can I do! :mad: Boys are not my friends right now!:mad:

Happy Friday!

Its offically Sat....I wish the sun would come out so I could lay out in the pool!

I just got back from the pool :D It's the first time all summer that I've had time to go when it was sunny. Oh and yes, here in South Carolina the heat and humitiy are killing us! I hate it when you break a sweat from just stepping outside....

lounged around in the pool for a little bit today...went to a pig picken' with my parents...It was a little on the hot side.

What part of SC are you from? My "ex" is living in Pawley's Island...otherwise know as paradise :cool:

Oh man, what a night. Last night was the final graduation party for my sisters.. we all camped out after.

It was quite interesting to pack 9 of us in a 5 person tent :p

I'm in Rock Hill......it's about 15 mins south of Charlotte, NC


Pixell- My summer is going good. I have a midterm tomorrow though...GRRRRRRR :mad:

Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend! :cool:

Back to work tomorrow...nothing exciting!

Today, I guy who I had dinner once or twice with called me...the catch is he is in Europe! One of my student's family set me up with him, he had just moved to Wilson from Florance, SC...super nice guy. We went to dinner a few times and then he broke it to me, his company was sending him to Europe to work for a year. He has been over there for 5 or 6 weeks now and we email each other. He has called 3 times and EVERYTIME HE CALLS I NEVER HAVE MY PHONE WITH ME! :( I think it great he even remembers my number! Maybe one day I will get to talk to him!

Oh man.. 20 4.5-6 years old.. WOW. I am SO tired.. and its only Tuesday.

Oh man.. its going to be a LONG weekend.
