so here is a total hijack...... i am not sure when you graduated, but there isn't an alum group here for aephi. you have rep on the boston aph, but she said there are about 4 people who are "involved" with aephi in the area. not to justify the no contact or anything.
ok, i knew about alum groups bc we had some alums active with my chapter, not because of the info i received from national. we got a little welcome to alumnae life packet either right before or right after i graduated. i never looked at it. i was so bogged down with finding a job, etc, that it was something that got packed when i moved to mass. i did want to get involved, so i contacted national to get info. it took about 3 months, i think. then i wrote the president bc i thought it would be too awkward to call someone i never ever met before. it took about 6 months before i heard from her. this was ok tho. i really needed a "year off." when they were doing the newsletters for the following year, i received one and that is how i got involved.
some of my friends have not been so lucky. one sister contacted national several times and after a year and a half found out that the president of the nearest alum chapter lived on her street! how funny is that! i have 2 other friends that moved to other states and were totally unable to find a chapter nearby. one of them, i fully believe was sheer laziness as the addresses were posted in our summer aglaia...plus i emailed it to her! the problem with posting the president's info in our summer magazine is that you get the info for the past president.
