Don't quit! Please! Membership is for a lifetime. I have put more into my alumna membership than I ever did my undergraduate membership. I chose not to run for an office. I nearly chose not to have a Little (I did, and she transferred the following quarter and I never took another). Not because I didn't WANT those experiences or that I wouldn't be good at them, but because I wore myself out in high school trying to do too much, and I had to think of the financial cost involved. I had a major that demanded weekend field trips, I also worked 25-30 hours a week, so those "extra" parts of my membership just weren't in the cards for me.

You can work behind the scenes during your groups first official formal recruitment. You can volunteer as an advisor for your group. You can join an alumnae group. Don't let those minor details of recruitment and not being an officer prevent you from having a lifetime of membership. You don't NEED those to have a great sisterhood experience! Put as much as you can into your group right now. You will get out of it whatever you put in!

Yes, and Alumnae dues are so much cheaper. Theta's alumnae dues is $15 a YEAR.

If there's a younger member who you feel close to and could kind of be like a pseudo-Little, then if she ever takes a Little herself, spoil that pseudo-grandlittle.
