1. How active are you? -
I attend meetings, help out with the collegiate chapter. Pretty active. I stay as active as I can. I work and have a family (husband and 15 year old stepson)
2. What types of activities have you attended?
Recruitment, Founder's Day, chapter meetings, movie day with collegiates, Senior Send Off and awards, Initiation. I hope to go to Convention next year. I plan on attending many activities as possible
3. Do you hold any offices? Co-VP Programming, VP Membership
4. What's been the most rewarding part of being a part of your GLO? Seeing the new members become actives, welcoming the graduating seniors into alumnae membership. Forming a bond with these wonderful women and always looking to meet other sisters.
5. Have you been disappointed in anything?
copying this from Ariesrising since we are in the same chapter. She said it well!
Our local alumnae chapter is trying to get more active, and it's disappointing to plan things only to see so few show up - so alumnae apathy is the most disappointing thing so far.
6. Is it what you expected? Yes and no. Wow, I had no idea it is such a learning process. I love to learn new things and new details so I have been having fun. I have been getting my hands on everything I can so I can learn about my GLO and how things are done. Sure there are some faux pas I committed along the way and learned from attending the school of hard knocks, but it helps create character and make me a better person. I didn't expect to see women so loving and accepting so it was a pleasant surprise. I have met and become friends with wonderful women in my own GLO and other GLOs.
7. How has your overall AI experience been? I am so glad I joined! I could say I wish I joined earlier, but then again the experience might have been different. I really love being able to help out and get out and do things. I love reading our magazine...I like froth at the mouth when I know the new one is coming. (kinda the same reaction when the new People mag comes out)
I love the fact that I have sisters everywhere and look forward to meeting more.
