Hi! I graduated in Dec. '03 and have since joined my alum association. My problem is that I'm obviously young and am not sure how to begin to get involved. I get e-vites to all the events but I'd just feel weird showing up by myself. I've emailed the President and one of the VPs with not much response. I'm just looking for a way to start to get invloved. I'd especially love to get involved with a local chapter (mine would not be local for me). Any ideas/suggestions/comments?
Sorry to crash your thread ladies, but I am the President of our alumnae association in NYC and we've noticed the same trend. We have a core group of women who show up to most of our events but it seems like every once in awhile a new woman will show up then we will never hear from her again. A few months go by and then I have also seen some of them take theirselves off our yahoogroups list where we make all of our announcements. I don't think it is an "age thing" as most of our women are in their 20's and 30's. Obviously those of us who go all the time know each other quite well so I can see how this may be uncomfortable for someone new coming out. Any advice you ADPi ladies have, keep it coming. I'd love to be able to call everyone personally and invite them back to things but really don't often have time for that kinda thing. Thanks!!!!
