I'm thrilled to have an alum chapter nearby again, but I'll still support Life Loyal now. Yes, I love getting To Dragma in the mail. Yes, I also know that I was told that I'd get it for life with my initiation fees, but costs have gone way up. Sometimes, AOII has to make some hard decisions for our continued success. I'm guessing that this was one of those times, Honestly, when it comes to To Dragma, it's a big change for us but it's not like everyone who isn't an active, dues paying alum chapter member, or Life Loyal will never get or be able to read To Dragma again. It'll probably be on the website, just not in the mailbox.
If this change can get more alumnae back and actively involved with AOII in some capacity on the local level I'd be thrilled. No, not everyone has an alum chapter nearby and Life Loyal is a way for those alums to stay involved.
Discounts are nice, but until we get a few items to fit us full figured alums I probably won't be too concerned that way. (Sarah, get the flip flops and a ball cap for Germany!) I just see the new program as a way to put my money where my mouth is
What better way to support AOII than to contribute toward our future? Life Loyal lets us do that and more.
