^^^ Exactly.
In my experience, the alumnae helping the collegiate chapter tend to be recent graduates. By getting involved with chapter support activities, you're bound to run across the sisters you had conflict with from your collegiate days. However, if an alumnae chapter is available in your area you'll be exposed to many sisters who are not carrying a grudge from the old days. They may all be from your collegiate chapter but they'll span many years from that chapter and will have many different perspectives. Go ahead and help with the collegiate chapter to show your rededication to DDD, but I would put more energy into the alumnae chapter if I were you. That's where you'll be able to feel those sisterhood bonds that you're looking for.
Good luck!
