^^ lyrica got it right.
I didn't get much time as a Delta because I was a transfer and joined the second semester of my junior year. While my time was short, I really did enjoy it, and being part of the alum. association, I enjoy knowing that things we do directly helps both my home chapter and the other chapters in the area.
I think one common misconception about alumnae associations is that they are all function the same, and that the entire membership is composed of women not in your age group (a few years right out of college), but if you and your sisters join the local alum groups, things can change dramatically. I think "new blood" is exactly what alum associations everywhere could use because with that comes fresh ideas and ways of thinking. My alum. association has women of all ages and in addition to officer meetings, and regular meetings, we do try to meet for happy hours sometimes, and we have fun events and even (*gasp*) date parties!
I'm so sorry to hear about the closing chapters. I honestly could not imagine what you could possibly be going through. I would definitely recommend staying involved as an ADPi, because the more alum help we get, the better the chances of a successful re-colonization for your chapters down the road.
