To Old to be an AXiD?

I'd say get involved on the alum level as an advisor, housing corp member, or with the local alumnae association. You might find that you have as much in common with these women as you did with you chapter sisters the first time you were an undergrad. What ever you decide I wish you the best of luck.

I will say I'm not Chapter Advisor, which I think is more responsibility than some of the other advisors, but being an advisor can be a great way to bond with chapter members.

I was kind of exaggerating. It appears that the OP is looking for people to socialize with. If one becomes an advisor, their role would be more of guide than a friend.

Our current faculty adviser on campus was initiated as an Alpha Xi a year ago. She's in her late forties with a husband and kids, but that's the power of AXiD, I guess? TFJ for life!

I will say that as one of the oldest members in my chapter (im 22 and will be 23 when I graduate in spring 2010), I notice an age gap that is hard to close at times. I love all my sisters and my big is almost 4 years younger than me and we do have a lot of fun but I often find my self in the mother bird role at parties and such. Most of the time things are easy going but I have a hard time with text speak and stuff like that on occasion
