I've tried to be as active as possible over the past 2 years since I graduated, but it's difficult. There's no alumnae chapter near me, and the collegiate chapter in town doesn't seem to want help. I've attended conferences at Headquarters about keeping young alumnae active and participated in IMPACT (a leadership program) at the local chapter with women from all over the country. Two weeks ago my collegiate chapter (which is two hours away) held initiation, which I attended. I was asked to be the social advisor when I was there, so I'll be doing that long-distance. I wish there was more I could do. I keep up-to-date via the website and donate whenever possible (we don't have national alumnae dues or a life loyal program... yet). I wish I had an alumnae chapter nearby. There aren't enough in town to create one, but I have met a few in the area with whom I communicate. I just wish I could become more active and give back to the organization that has given me so much.
