All of those things that you held so dear as a collegian and as an alumna. That's where this woman is coming from. She didn't pledge and initiate into ASA. She didn't participate in ASA's rituals. She is from HER chapter.
My ritual vows included something along the lines of "lifelong love and fidelity to Tau Delta", and I'm pretty sure most of us said something along the same lines. And I can see where she would feel that turning her back on that would be an insult to the vows she took.
Please realize that I'm not against ASA, a colony is something to celebrate! Obviously the decision took a lot of time and agony, and there's a long road ahead. My comments are just to give some perspective from an alumna of an historic local.
Anyway...it's just Capital ;-p
KIDDING, JUST KIDDING! Otterbein and Capital are historic rivals. HUGE rivalry. I'm kidding!

Oh, I realize that. That's what I was saying. I'm sad for her, sad that they feel they are losing everything. I'd be devastated. I'm happy for the actives who are so excited about it, and sad for the alum who are so disappointed and heartbroken over it. Not "sad" over the fact that she'll choose not to affiliate if given the opportunity.
