I think the fact that we're not shoving the ladybug down their throats (to be respectful of one of the longstanding locals who uses the ladybug) should tell the alums something. Good call on our part - the last thing you want to do is barrel in like a bull in a china shop.

LM - did any of the already-graduated alumnae at Frostburg elect to get initiated? I'm assuming we can do that.

I do understand where the alums are coming from, because the local tradition really is strong in Ohio. I'd much rather be in a situation like this where the actives are excited and happy about becoming national rather than one where they're being told "go national or die" and they only do it grudgingly.
