little question about alums visiting the chapter

[FSUZeta]

no problem-it is always good to hear how other groups handle things.

unless you are an advisor for this chapter, i think that you should stay away from the "airing dirty laundry "candlepass, unless the advisors ask you to be there. while you may be a member of this chapter, you are an alum. and should not concern yourself in their affairs, or attend their events, unless invited.

i am wondering how you know that this candlepass is upcoming? do you have a little still in the chapter? let the advisors handle this-i can promise you that they have their fingers on the pulse of the chapter and should be there as unbiased observers. this candlepass should not happen unless advisors are present.

as far as being greeted by collegians when you enter a room, that would be the right thing to do. when i was a collegian, we always stood when an alumna entered the room and we did not sit until she had. you may want to send a note to the chapters general advisor, letting her know that there have been a couple of times that the collegians did not acknowledge when an alum. entered the room-give her a chance to address it with the chapter. collegians should still be acknowledging alumnae. you might also tell her how much you appreciate her volunteering her time with your chapter. they don't hear that enough!!
