I was very saddened to hear about Alpha's closing this morning. I had gotten up, did my morning email ritual, and I was very shocked to hear that our beloved Alpha chapter is closing. 
Since this is a very sensitive subject to many of us AGDs, I encourage my sisters to discuss it further either in the AGD forum or on the AlphaGam.net message board.
Hang in there, sisters! I know that they'll be back!

K, while I feel sorry to see a chapter, any chapter close down, i have knowledge of the issues at AGD that a lot of you don't have, seeing as I was involved in the SU system for3 1/2 years, so speculation should stop. The fact is, the AGD alpha chapter has been in trouble for the last THREE years due to poor recruitment, reputation problems and poor internal leadership. Add to the fact that while they attempted to, their national organization was unable to do anything about the groups failure. There are plenty of solid girls in that chapter and it sucks to see them suffer for mitakes made by the chapter leadership years back, but this is just an example of how NOT to operate a chapter and is not a knock against those who legitimately tried to do something in a situation that was essentially hopeless because certain "leaders" neglected to realize the impact their actions would have on the younger sisters. This could happen to ANY chapter at ANY time. I'm sure they'll come back in a few years and kick ass, its happened before.
