As you can see from my screen name, I’m a Chi Omega. I currently live in North Carolina, but I’m originally from another part of the country, and at my school we were, unfortunately, the bottom of the pecking order, and closed at the end of my sophomore year. For many years, I was reluctant to get involved with my local alumnae chapter here, coming from a “bottom tier” and closed chapter.
But once I started going to events, I found out it’s more about who we are now than how popular our chapters were on campus. I mean, sure, there’s the occasional “I didn’t know we have a chapter there,” (my chapter has been dormant for 20+ years) followed by momentary awkwardness, but it’s not a big deal. I’ve met several other sisters from closed chapters and even a sister from my collegiate chapter.
