[AOIIalum]

I've served AOII in various ways over the past 20 years. As a collegiate member I held a variety of offices and committee positions. I also represented AOII on campus through my involvement with our SGA. In addition I served as Panhellenic Rush Chair and Greek Week Chair during my collegiate career. I was also elected as a member of our school's Student Activities Board, where I served as Travel Chair and coordinated my school's annual winter ski trip and spring break trip (and there weren't any GLO members on SAB in those days!)

After my collegiate experience I've served as an Alumnae chapter officer and member, collegiate chapter adviser and house corporation officer and member. Right now, I'm President of our local chapter's house corporation and a member of the AOII Properties operations and standards committee. I'm a dues paying member of AOII Always (our alumnae at-large group) and am involved with the reorganization of the local alumnae chapter in my area.

I am about 4 hours away from my collegiate chapter but stay informed with the happenings there via their chapter website and their local alumnae chapter's listserv.

The wonderful thing about alum membership is you are able to do what you can, because you want to. If you want to serve as an officer or adviser on a local level, the opportunities are there. If you want to volunteer on a regional or national/international level, the opportunities are there. If you have family and/or job commitments, that's okay too when you are an alum because you're welcomed when you can attend functions or whatever and if you miss it you don't get fined or lose points or get stuck on weekend cleanup duty. I always say that once you are an alumna, you get to have all the fun with a lot less "drama", so to our GC collegiate members out there, stay involved during your alumni years whenever you can!
