Ok, so I went to the meeting/dinner that the Aiken Alumnae chapter held and the girls all seemed really nice. It's a small chapter that's also fairly new. Most of them had graduated recently from Kappa Pi but there were a couple that were slightly older and had gone to other schools in the south - I think me and Elisabeth were the only ones who went to Northern schools. The prez talked about not having done elections when they were supposed to and how she and the New Member advisor (I think) wanted girls to think about shadowing them for the next several months so that they could pass the torch - the prez has been in her position for a few years now! I don't blame her for wanting to step down! I'm not saying I want to be prez, but it sounds like a few advisor positions and alum EC positions will be opening up soon and I always felt like holding some sort of leadership role helped me stay really involved and I felt like I was more a part of things if I had a job to do. I wasn't able to talk to the GA, as both her and the prez had to go meet with one of the collegiates to discuss their golf tournament coming up later in the month so I think I will e-mail both her and the prez to discuss my options. I was glad to hear that the alumnae are really involved with the collegiates and they do a lot together (I don't think Augusta is AS involved as Aiken is and that was something I was looking for). Me and Elisabeth both really liked the chapter (she was so glad I invited her because she's kind of shy) and I think we're probably both going to join this one. I know, I know, I haven't really given the Augusta chapter a chance, but you gotta go with your gut I guess and I think it'd be neat to join with another girl in my position so we'll both be new
The only thing that stinks is that it's a 45 minute drive to Aiken, whereas you can get anywhere in Augusta in less than 20 minutes, and if I do any sort of advisor role, I'll be driving there about once a week
Oh, well. I'm still going to sell the raffle tickets for Augusta (sold two at Aiken last night, LOL) and help out and keep in touch with them as well (they're my sisters too!). Overall, it was nice to meet some other Zetas and I'm definitely excited to get back into the swing of things!
