The last I heard, my chapter was looking at building a lodge, which would give us room to expand. I can't decide if this is a good or a bad thing. Having suites in the Panhellenic Building evened the playing field at least a little.
We alumnae have been asked to give what I consider a sizeable donation. I made a modest one. I'm a copy editor. I don't live in a McMansion. And on the way to work, I drive right down the middle of the area of our city that provides services for the homeless. I just can't bring myself to spend my money on a shiny-shiny lodge when I see people five days a week who don't have adequate food, clothing and shelter. My donation was the same amount I gave to the fund my paper oversees that provides Christmas food baskets to the needy. That I can live with. I'm just more concerned about feeding people these days.
