I don't see WHY you would want to change your mission statement. Isn't that what you found your chapter upon? To me, that's like changing ritual just because it doesn't "fit with the times". Part of the charm of ritual is the original language and dress that these women many years ago thought of.

Perhaps I'm wrong about what a mission statement is, but I'd liken to the foundation upon which you build your organization.
