There is always this confusion between the ideal and aspirations of the national organization and the local alumnae chapter.
I see women over and over again aspiring to be a member of XYZ group before she has met one single person from the local chapter.
- It is the local chapter that will sponsor you.
- It is the local chapter that will question why you want to join them.
- It is the local chapter that will either say gee you're swell or you don't fit us at all.
Had I not clicked with the local chapter and had a strong prior association with DG I would not have been offered the chance to be initiated. If I had not clicked with them, I wouldn't have decided to try Alpha Phi, or ZETA or Pi Phi, for example. All wonderful organization in their own right, but I had no *connection* with them.
