I'm a little confused by this closing with a committment to recolonize soon. If ADPi plans on a major effort to revamp a chapter in just a few years, then why the wait? Could someone fill me in?
Going off on a bit of a tangent and falling under the heading "Wow isn't it a small ADPi world". Eta has an incredible alum named Dr. Ben Avis Orcutt. She recently retired as our House Corp Pres at the young age of 90+ only because she broke her hip. She founded the University of Alabama's College of Social Work and has been incredibly active in practically every service organization there is.
Here's the small world part, Dr. O lived in Arizona for a while and she was one of the alums who helped found that chapter. I'm sure she's heartbroken to say good-bye even temporarily. She may not be around for the recolonization.
FYI - Dr. O will be travelling to Convention this summer and will be awarded the Joan Perry Boatwright Award. She is a wonderful woman and I am so happy that Grand Council has seen fit to honor her. Dr. O is the truest definition of a "Steel Magnolia" I've ever witnessed. She's the only person I've ever seen chew somebody out so politely. She's amazing and I can only hope to someday be like her, even just a little bit.
