Re: Two Established Chapters in One City...

That is the only glo I can think of. Do other glo's have a "twin" chapter in the same city? Is this common, if so why would a glo do that if it has already established their presence. I wonder if this would be double work for the Alumnae chapter supporting two collegiate chapters at once.
Any response on this would be insightful

Huh?

APO has several chapters in the same city. This is because we charter chapters to schools and only members of that school can join that chapter. Having multiple chapters in a city is not a drain on alumni associations. Its not the purpose of AA to support chapters, so its not work for them while those chapters are up and running. It is work to get them started.

Some examples:

Tallahassee, FL has chapters at both Florida State and Florida A&M.

Atlanta, GA has chapters at Univ Ga, Oglethrope, Georgia Tech, Clark-Atlantic, and Emory.

THere may be other examples, but that's what I'm familar with in my area of the country.
