scbelle--I have a story that kind of relates to your question. I was at the Chi Omega Panhellenic Luncheon during their convention a few years back and my hostess also happened to be a Navy wife from a few hours away. As we talked through lunch, she said something that really stuck with me. She said, "Chi O is something that I take with me. No matter where we have moved, there have been Chi O sisters to welcome me." *ah, tear*
I often think about how true that has been in my life. During my transition the last time we moved, I thank God I had my DPhiE volunteer work to keep me sane when I struggled to find the right job. To have something familiar and fulfilling to work on made me feel better.
Fortunately, my positions with the sorority have been portable--not regionally based. Since we have alumnae chapters only in major areas, alumnae involvement in DPhiE tends not to center around alumnae associations but on volunteering internationally.
Now I am not sure how that would change if we moved overseas--but I am sure the sorority would come up with something that I could do!
