Alumnae who are offended by this need to relax because it justs comes with the territory.
If the person actually wants to formally have her membership status switched over to an alumnae chapter, their membership standing should be checked and the appropriate paperwork should be completed. If the person just wants to assist the alumnae chapter with certain activities without transfering membership, there are other ways of confirming membership status and standing with the sorority. An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure.

I couldn't agree more, sawrah.
I value our organization's secrets, so I do not find it offensive at all. When I moved to NYC and joined a grad chapter, I was asked to show my membership card (along w/my driver's license) AND had a prophyte vouch for me before I was admitted to the room where the meeting was to be held. I was thankful for their caution, actually. |
