Young Alumni....Still in the mix?

[pinkyphimu]

i think it is something for you to be aware of...

if you are going to hang out and drink with the collegiates, then you may want to look around and make sure everyone standing there is 21+ (of course, we know no one ever drinks when they are under 21), look at your groups social policy (for example, phi mu does not allow collegiates and actives to participate in an activity with alcohol present) and look at why you are really there. is this a rush event and you are there to support the chapter, a chapter reunion, a philanthropy event, etc., then i say go for it. if you are just going to be hanging around at a social, then you might want to reconsider your plans.

it is great to get to know the actives and be a support, but there are lots of ways to support a chapter!

oh, today i had a conversation about some alumnae who graduated recently who don't seem to realize that they graduated. this particular chapter is frustrated because they keep showing up to meetings, want to come to parties, etc. and the chapter is like, you are graduated...go away! not that they don't want support, they just don't want the new graduates hanging around telling them what to do...which is what often happens when new graduates keep coming back.
