I haven't been active in Delta Zeta since I was a collegiate. I graduated in 1977.

I've always been in touch with many of my chapter sisters, who are great friends, and continue to be. We've been together thru marriages, career uncertainty, childbirth, real estate acquisition, divorces, etc. What a support system!

When I got out of school, there really wasn't any organized program to keep alums involved. My chapter didn't have any alum involvement at all, so I thought that that was normal. I just went with it. Life happens, and you get busy. But I always missed it.

Happily, in the last several years, I've found an online DZ alum group that got me re-introduced, and I've joined a real "bricks and mortar" alum group in my area. Delta Zeta is back in my life, and I'm having a great time!

Bottom line: These days, there are so many ways to stay involved with DZ after college, and so many resources to help you make that connection. Do it and maintain it. I wish I had.
