If you feel more comfortable responding via email, please do so. Thanks, sorors!

I was the youngest member of my chapter for a year and a half--I am so loving the neos!! 2 are younger than me and one is the same age!!
Before the neos, my chapter definately consisted of more "seasoned" sorors. My neo status and age did cause them to ask me to do a lot of grunt work. However, they are great teachers and I love to soak up as much knowledge as I can from them. My age is not really an issue, they are so delighted by the fact that I am interested in learning as much as I can about AKA.
For me to run for my current position, the by-laws had to be suspended--I wasn't a year old at the time (one day short).
More to the point, when I expressed an interest in serving as a Boule delegate, a "seasoned" soror stepped down (I would have surely lost if the chapter voted) and allowed me to serve as a delegate.
Long story-short---My chapter sorors are SOOOOO supportive!!
