I called the AI Coordinator for XYZ last Tuesday (it had been a couple weeks since I sent my letter and follow-up e-mails). I thought it went very well. She's very nice. She's going to start the process of getting me in touch with a specific alumnae group. Hopefully I can start out by e-mailing them and having some conversations over the phone with them, then meet them, then hopefully get invited to some events and even help them out with rush events, etc.
Slow, slow, slow...this seems to be going slow, but I swear I am sooooo motivated to see this through!! I'm excited!!
