Not meant to be inflammatory, nor rude - simply trying to point out that you made an issue of the alphabet and its place in new member programs specific to your experience and that if it was a problem then rather than complain about it the thing to do would be to address it with your GLO.That's not meant as a criticism in other than a constructive way. I truly believe that if you were unhappy with your program (even though it was some time ago) the thing to do is change it .
Your sister has pointed out that AOII has a new membership program,and given the direction NMPs have taken I think it is fair to say, even with no knowledge specifically of it, that AOII has probably addressed some of your concerns with superficial or trivial material.
You have reacted to me and other posters as though you have been personally attacked. I certainly am not attacking you, and I think the other posters were supporting the idea of learning the Greek alphabet rather than lambasting you. I want to focus the discussion on how different GLOs are addressing issues facing us with shortened new member periods and the implementation of new programs. We're all interested in the same thing I'm sure - how to juggle the demands of preparing new members, keeping them involved as actives, and furthering the experience as alumnae. So shall we get back on topic?
