I've been doing my research on alumni and collegiate chapters, and those have definitely been a huge factor! It's hard because some of the organizations interested in us are smaller and don't have a broad base of alumni or collegiate chapters, but we don't necessarily want to discount them, because we're attracted to their ideals or principles, etc. So it's a tough decision, but we'll figure it out!
