Years and years ago, I ran into a fellow DG alum in our small city. I had actually been told by a regional officer that she was moving here. This gal, who had just finished her term as chapter president, brightly asked, "What day of the week do we meet?"
She was shocked when I told her that our small group was doing well to meet once a quarter!
The first couple of times I attended an alum meeting (and it was the younger alums), I was sandwiched between two young mothers who discussed diapering details and toilet training.
I was newly married and freshly graduated and had no intention of reproducing for several more years!
I almost didn't go back...it took three or four meetings before I meshed with the gals more at my own stage of life.
That's one thing I like about being a sorority alum...if you can't participate for a few years, it's always there to come back to.
