Excuses and you know what those are

So I am a so happy to finally be back around my beautiful Sorors, and my new chapter Tau Omicron Omega made me really feel welcome!!

It made me think I have been on greekchat for seven years and people probably assumed I was active, was I the only inactive greekchatter?

Tell the truth...

Soror,

I'm so happy that you've reactivated! I only reactivated just 4 years ago, and was inactive for 9 years (my LS calls me "Miss Nine") and am determined to remain active. Eight more years and I'll have Silver Star Status! The time definitely flies. . .

I had the same excuses as you. After having my daughter, I was out of work for 3 months, so I didn't reactivate; then each year that went by, I kept telling my LS "I'm coming back this year!" After awhile, she quit asking. . .anyway, my 1st meeting back, I felt like a fish out of water, but you sound like you definitely don't have that problem and that's great!

Congrats again!

I'm active and have been serving Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. for nearly 18 years. Life circumstances have been great for me and somehow, I have found a way to remain active. It was important to me, but I do not have children.

Thanks everybody! I really feel good about it. I was so active undergrad, in fact I was "Neophyte of the Year", when I transferred into the grad chapter in the town where my college was it was such a complete 180! The chapter was alot older, alot more set in thier ways.
When I moved to Houston I just got busy with life getting married, having kids, mortgages, career, school etc. Even though all those things are going on still and I am about to start my doctorate, enough is enough. I can't be at everything but I can be at something starting now.
