For many, it could just be a matter of where you are in life. I resigned from the League when I realized it was far more important to volunteer at my children's school than it was to scurry around selling ads for our magazine. Now, I DO have time so I came back as a sustainer and serve on a GREAT committee!
There isn't an AXO alum group here, (though once there was I've learned.) but I've met all sorts of sisters since my interest AND time freed up. When my daughter went through rush, it brought back so many memories and feelings. This was my intro to GC. I guess I owe a lot of thanks to you guys for rekindling my interest.
I don't think I'd want to be involved in a way that required a solid commitment of time, but if called for help by a sister-I'd be there in any capacity I could.
I think a lot of us start out with the best intentions, but life gets in the way and priorities change. I am really thankful for those who have remained active in my kids' GLOs. Sure there are times they wish they would "butt out." (I know I felt the same way at times.) For the most part though, I think the active alums are appreciated far more than they may realize.
