Da##it, you said I could have it!! I'm reporting you to Ebay for a violation of terms!!
To my sisters, I feel the deep sense of loss that comes with a closed chapter. As with all cases, there is much more to it than just a simple statement of what is assumed to be factual. No matter how high up someone is, unless it is a female employed by HQ, with direct bearing on this case, then no one will know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We all know the telephone game of passing info down through the ranks - it gets very distorted, and the original point is always lost entirely. I am just a firm believer that dirty laundry belongs in the laundry room, and not strung out on the floor for everyone to step over. Nationals has made its decision, and as hard as that is to take, you must remember the very core of being an Alpha Chi Omega. If its only about the charter on the wall, then you've missed out on so much more.
I speak from the heart - not with a cold tongue, as it may appear, but with love and tenderness, and the comfort of knowing for a fact that what AXO is to us is much more than a piece of paper.
I am not saying "get over it" - quite the contrary -- I am saying "get THROUGH it" and we all know that "together" is the only way to do that. Please email me for any support and I would be more than happy to reply with ideas for alumnae coordination and meetings -you are alumnae now, and you must act responsibly in that role (ie, they can't take away your charter for alumnae chapter! So get yourselves organized and send in the form - what a great way to show the world that AXO is truly for a lifetime!!)
In closing, here's my little version of a good 'ol country song that I wrote for my pledge class:
Alpha Chi Omega - your name on my lips is sweet; And the colors of your glorious crest run so very deep; But if those colors should fade away, and Alpha Chi is no more; Sisters, there is something that I must say, and you can rest assured...that - sisters, sisters forever, and ever we will be -- through thick and thin, we're tried and true, from here to eternity -- and no matter where your heart may lead, I can guarantee --that sisters forever, and ever we will be!
(First time ever in print for me - sorry I can't "sing" it for you, but you can put it to your own tune
)
Much love to all my sisters and thanks to everyone for the support you've shown!
