I've been in contact with headquarters many times, and I've e-mailed "cutetiger" (I'll be in touch again soon!). Things are moving right along! There have been some changes since I posted on here before. First of all, it took so long for chapters to contact me that I started seriously thinking about starting a new chapter. By the time, one chapter called, I already had five potential members. I really enjoyed my conversation with the Beta sister who called. She was so sweet, but I didn't want to let down the girls who had already expressed interest in a new chapter.
I'm holding an interest meeting tomorrow, and I'm planning a rush party for October.
Wish me luck!
