Hi KappaKittyCat,
Strong local alumni Panhellenics is what the Greek system is currently in need of.
I began 15 years ago, with a nod from my hostess, to bring my two girls and their babysitter to any KKG event I was invited to. Poo-pah on leaving them at home while I walked out dressed like I was going to church. The same with being a member of the arts council or an advisor for the Imagination Place. My daughters needed to see the service that I provided to my community. Our local Service Guild (we don't have Junior League in this small town) also now provides "care" during meetings. We just had too many quality young ladies dropping out or declining the honor of being members.
We had two yearly "Carol Parties", then last year we declined having a party at all, in the hopes that someone else would pick up the key. Personally, I skipped a beat as I became egocentric and fulfilled the resident requirement for my PhD.
But as I walk through the grocery stores, there is a distinct desire for them to happen again. Feedback tells me that we need babysitters ... and a strong local Panhellenic involvement rather than just folks named Carol. We will probably have to develop some sort of raffle system to designate hostesses.
Any suggestions on that one?
Loyally,
Carol Livingston
