Ditto. I think about it this way, you're in your collegiate chapter for 3-4 years, but you're an alumna for the rest of your life. For me, it's more about personal connections I've made through my AOII experiences, and I've been lucky enough to experience these locally and Internationally. I remain loyal to my own collegiate chapter, yet I will always have a place in my heart for each of the collegiate chapters I've been associated with as an alumna.
