Blah Blah Blah, I'm rambling. Basically my point was that it's kinda sad, hard, whatever being a new alumni and it's good to see that other are in my shoes.

As an alumna who just watched another brand, new alumna have difficulty with Recruitment this year, can I offer you peace of mind that you were probably wise beyond your years that you didn't attend Recruitment this year. I witnessed a young alumna pacing behind the scenes this year wanting to get out on the floor and participate in talking to the PNMs, wanting to speak with collegiates about members and wanting to participate in selection. We really had to contain her while she nearly crawled out of her skin...the rest of the alumnae are removed by several years (I've been alum since 1991 and I'm the oldest!) and can focus on what needs to be done as an alum.
It's okay that you had to step back...it's probably healthier for you and the chapter and you know that you'll be back to support the chapter again...for now, give yourself the chance to adjust to your new role as an AXO alum and enjoy it...it's for the rest of your life!
