oh, today i had a conversation about some alumnae who graduated recently who don't seem to realize that they graduated. this particular chapter is frustrated because they keep showing up to meetings, want to come to parties, etc. and the chapter is like, you are graduated...go away! not that they don't want support, they just don't want the new graduates hanging around telling them what to do...which is what often happens when new graduates keep coming back.

I can understand that chapter's frustration with their recent, younger alumni/ae. My chapter has been going through some very similar things with our recent, young alumnae. While we love them and respect them, they need to realize that they are alumnae and really have no say in the day-to-day dealings of the chapter. They also need to not get butt-hurt about it. I love my chapter and have been pretty heavily involved from the get-go but I don't want to be the 'sketch alum' as someone posted, so I'm starting to distance myself slowly now (about a yr to a yr and a half before graduation) so that I don't get that shock of no involvement when I go alum.
