My recent alum experience
I'm just catching up with some GC posts and wanted to post in response to this. I was at the mall during Christmas and my mom and I were checking out at Bath and Body Works. I noticed she had a DZ lavalier on so I asked her if she a Delta Zeta here. She said yes and I proceeded to tell her that I was an alumna from the chapter. She was like "oh". And just stared at me. Well, I wasn't sure what to say, so I asked her when she was initated and all and she was very short with me, didn't smile, etc. I felt kinda stupid and was disappointed that she really didn't care or anything. It may have been weird to have some random person ask her that, but I just remember being gracious to alumnae that I met.
The few times I have gone to our chapter room since graduating, I haven't had anyone stand for me. I know that being young and being a fairly recent active plays a role in that though, like Blaire was saying.
Just thought I'd chime in on that one!
