And the slow mail system delaying mailings there. I can't imagine the complications of having chapters in even more countries. It's manageable with Canadian chapters, but it just seems overwhelming to think about all the rest of the world!
This is so true, and that is a reason We have not gone to Hawaii.

We had a Colony at Un. Alaska, and it closed which was hard for me to aree with.

But again, it is a matter of Cost and Contact time available.

I know it is a ego thing that all Greeks would like to be a Major Uns with State Names or Major Independent School. But here again, there is a Major Cost.

It is figured to be @ $7,000-$8,000 minimum for a Colony Set up.

For Our ELCs, to travel to Chapters, the closer the better.
