This is very true.

When I was a collegian I was one of the few that had the opportunity to go to Convention and meet sisters of all ages. Even after I had returned, they couldn't understand why I was so very gung ho about emails/message boards/AIM messages from sisters across the country.

They thought I was crazy when I sent "Good luck with Recruitment!" cards to different chapters one Fall.

Sure, they knew AGD was international, as irishpipes said, they didn't quite understand the big picture and they were slow to accept that there were thousands of sisters we were able to reach out to outside our chapter.

But then again, we are in Hawai`i, so I can kind of understand the whole self-isolation thing.
