To the 2 above posts, while my chapter had no Alum group in KC, another chapter started an allKC group and one of the Brothers contacted me. I was delighted and started getting my chapters Brothers to join. If nothing else to build a strong area Alum group. After 2 years, the originators wanted to go back on their own as they had higher priorities. Well, it worked out very well as my chapter has its own Alum group and is stronger than the area Alum group was! Thias may be a horn blowing time as We are all Brothers but it feels good to have grown out of the ahse's. If the "Alum Chapter" is so large, is there not maybe a smaller Alum chapter around? In Calif., there should be a lot of chapters, so I would check with them and ask about their Alum group/ I would also explain you situation and I am sure you will be more than welcome. After all, you can give them insight on what happened in your area!
While it may sound trite, but on a thread, e-bay was mentioned and badges on it.I started checking for my Badge and started bidding to keep them with a Member. In checking and e-m to bidders, i found out I was bidding against Brothers doing the same thing! I dropped to keep the price down and get them to the right place.
While said trite, I have met and been in contact with @ 10 new Brothers and are staying in touch to see what is going on at their local chapters!
So you see, we ahve the same common thread as have been initiated and all know the same things. There is a bond, and it should be there for each Organization. Try a few of these things and maybe it will go better and i rally hope you find some of your SOROity sisters that you can get together with. Keep informed!!!
