You are to funny!
I have been to many of my chapters in many states and I find them for the most part very well receptive to a member of LXA. The snottiest one was in the South and the nicest one was also in the South.
Explain that one.
I am sure if a Southerner went to a Chapter in the North, they would be cordually welcomed and vice versa.
If some feel so strongly about the "outer" Chapters, stay in YOUR little world and suffer.
What do you do when there is a National Convention, shut yoursef in your room so you do not have to meet those heathen brothers or sisters?
