Don't let not knowing them keep you away; they are all your sisters! You just haven't been introduced yet!

I'm president of a newly formed association which is building membership, so most sisters don't know each other. At our functions this past year, I'd say that most women in attendance haven't met all the others, and at least one doesn't know any of the others!

Remember that you have something very important in common with these women - the Ritual of ADPi! Lots of great conversations are based on reminiscing about our shared common experiences (wow, that really applies to life not just alumnae associations!).

As far as advice on getting involved with a nearby chapter, you can a)update your personal information and will-serve on Pride Online. This will send an alert to the Province Director and either she or the Chapter Advisor will contact you. b) contact the PD directly; c) contact the chapter president and ask her to pass along your contact info to the PD or CA (hopefully she doesn't give their info out to strangers...); d) post your interest on Pride ONline - someone will respond to tell you how to get involved.
