I hate the fact that you want to give up.
My soon to be AA has only 12 members as of today and we are all very different. I'm the youngest one, everyone else has children or is married...they have a way different lifestyle, but we all made a HUGE effort to get along. We have informal dinners as a brake the ice type of event and it works. So well in fact that I have plans with 2 girls to do dinner and a movie Friday.
KD is so awesome that we all feel like it's time to give back and an Alumnae Association is the perfect venue. It's not only about making friends, it's about Shamrock, chapter help, community service, and so much more. It's kinda like laid back chapter life in some ways. One of my sisters, from my chapter, just moved to NYC had no place to stay and no friends. She hooked up with the alum association and she loves it. They are a huge group as well, but she has benefited a lot from the association and without KD it would have taken her a long time to get settled.
I hope you give it another try.
I think the dinner you attended would be difficult to bond with other KDs, it was their chapter's party...I would have felt strange too.
