I should probably clarify some stuff...
I'm an alum, and have been for nearly 5 years. I live nowhere near my chapter or any of my chapter sisters. I am sure there's an alum chapter around here (with national HQ being not that far away), but I haven't inquired yet. (Never really thought about doing stuff on the alum level, until I discovered GC...
)
I've had disagreements with some of my chapter sisters - but since we've all graduated and moved on, we just don't talk. I do keep in close contact with others from my chapter - 2 of them were in my wedding, etc.
I'm thinking that by getting involved on the alum level, I'll meet and network with lots of new people. I'm not even sure quite what an alum chapter or alum panhellenic typically does... (Did I mention I'm from a long line of GDI's??
)
The thing is that my husband doesn't see beyond my chapter and those few sisters I had disagreements with, so he thinks it's strange that I would want to be involved with AEPhi AT ALL... even to the point of wearing a t-shirt.
It's not a control issue at all. If I want to go do something, I'll go out and do it. I don't have to answer to him. It's more that he can't comprehend the idea of being involved in a GLO beyond college, and can't comprehend the idea of my wanting to get involved with a group where I've had problems with some of the members (even though this would be a whole different group of AEPhi's). (I hope you guys can make sense of that last sentence
)
