take howard for example, the reactivated portion of alpha eta....we have incread membership in the past year from 15 actives to almost 30....imagine what an impact having even only half of the actives be able to afford going to convention would be in addition to the two delegates? and we are small...imaging Delware with their 100+ member chapter showing up? I look at delegates as the Senate and actual memebership there as an honorary HOR...because even thought more people there doesn't affect voting, imaging the influence that could have on everyone there?
i know my last few posts have come across as hostile and argumentative, but trust me, that is not the tone i meant to have....i am just extremely passionate about the sorority and debate...probably a better combo to have face to face rather than over the internet where tone can me misread

Terri you are fine sis
I'm not taking what you said the wrong way. Thanks for clarifying for me. I totally agree with you on the alum dues part. That is why I am hoping that things will start to change in that area.
Hope I'm going to see some sorors from your chapter in Chicago. I hear you all are sending your delegates which is good!
