My problem was with the comment that it gives some alums "purpose in life" Again, I say WTF????? Makes us sound like old women who have been sitting around doing nothing who finally found their purpose in life. The point of badge rescue groups is NOT to rescue badges (no, it really isn't). The point is to educate your members so the badges are not out there to rescue in the first place. That is the only way you will be truly successful.
Prior to being the chair of our group, I was the President of my AC (and still am)and I have been an advisor, treasurer of our HCB, and am currently Presidnet of our Panhel, and an international officer. And when I'm not doing that, I volunteer with a domestic violence org. I hardly think I need to find a purpose in my life............
And yes, women who have never paid dues WILL shell out money for a high priced badge. When it is from THEIR collegiate chapter.
