Women in Locals and AI

[Tom Earp]

PenguinTrax said it very well.

Manytimes or not, Locals are very strong on a Campus and do have a strong Alum backing from having been there for a very long time.

But as was said, the rub comes from someone who has moved far away and there is little if any contact with the Local Sorority.

While they may want to AI with a National Soro. and it may hurt feelings, that is a decision that must be made by the individual.

Remember, AI is not a sure fire way to Affiliate with a National Sorority, some do and some dont. Those that do have very specific regulations on joining that way.

Example:

Delta Rho at PSU, Ks was started with the help of LXA Chapter there as the women did not want to join the Local National Soros.

After they became a pretty strong group, they were offered an affiliation with Phi Mu. They turned it down and are no longer there.

Not saying anything bad about Locals, but the future is with a National Organization for just surviving all of the Risk Managment Problems that there are today. Cost, expense, Insurance, Campus Adm. feelings.

MTSUGirl, did you ever wonder if it is worth it?

Well, the feeling of being able to go across country and find Sisters all over.

I got that feeling at General Assembly when I finally met GC LXA there and Brothers from all over who knew other Brothers that I knew or have had contact on GC with! That is a big thing, We are not alone and can rely on others to be beside us or help us.
