Being local and with a refounding can be kinda touchy. In my opinion, we should be reaching out for the pre-refounding alumns more, but at the same time, they tend to not reach back and update their contact info! Grr! Our newer alumns who live in columbus are great though, it's wonderful to have someone who lives nearby able to save the day if need be, and also great to have random girls run up to you at Giant Eagle and hug you. It's also nice to see the founding member of your tree!
But trying to explain the movement away from hazing and still keeping traditions and rituals alive is a delicate process...there has to be a balance struck between "this is why we did/do this" and "let's do this because WE did it". Finding that balance point is a tricky situation, but it's getting better.
