I can say when I read your post, as a Phi Sig, I was thinking to myself... "does she know how many alum we have in the area ?... because honestly, I can tell you where we have chapters in that area and Florida in general.... but I can't tell you how many would come to support a new chapter there and I AM a Phi Sig... but I wasnt mad or anything... not a super big thing... but I do thank you for your post it is very Panhellenic of you

I would have to agree with that statement as well (since our alumnae support was also brought into question).
However, I got thinking about my own chapter (at a small school) and really have to question why alumnae support is as important as people make it sound. And no, I am NOT referring to a lagre school (so don't bring it up).
My chapter didn't have alumnae support for god knows how many years (if ever really) until a few years and there is still only a handful af alumnae and yet we are one of the top groups on campus. And even now, they would prefer to do it all themselves.
I'm not disagreeing that alumnae support is important, just that a chapter can be successful without it. I think alumnae support is good for building future members who value the lifetime commitment.
