Dewgirl, I am really sorry to hear about your situation. I think the problem begins at the chapter level. It must be constantly repeated and endlessly shown that their collegiate experience is only the first step. There should be big banners on the wall on how your organization represents a life-long commitment. There should be times at meetings at least once a month to focus on the contributions of alumnae in your chapter and in chapters across the country. I know that doesn't help you at this very moment, but I just wanted to say how it's important to make sure they understand that before they graduate.
