I am an alumna initiate and I chose to initiate with my organization so that I could volunteer on the international level. I started out working with chapters on a regional level and then became chair of a program area. I now serve the organization on a very high level. I do things for the organization on a daily basis. I have actually done very little with my own chapter but I feel I am advocate for them and chapters like them--and that's why I wanted to work at this level.
Working at this level is different though--much more big picture thinking about what's best for the whole organization overall rather than just one chapter. The greatest challenge is that you must always represent the organization in the very best light (because you're living in a fish bowl) and you have to enforce the rules no matter your opinion on them.
If you have something to offer, your organization probably needs you. And that truly is making your Greek experience last for a lifetime.
