Young alumnae chapters!

[AOII Angel]

I don't really like the idea of a separate "young" alums group. A sister is a sister no matter what the age, and this sounds age-ist (I don't know how this word should be spelled!) to me! I think the real problem is that women who have been in an alum chapter for a very long time don't think about how to program for the younger alums who have more energy. Emphasis should be placed on the importance of change to keep alum involvement high rather than segregating members according to age groups.

I wish that KKG had young alumnae chapters. In the end, the advisory board for my collegiate chapter has become what an alumnae chapter should be since the advisors want to be involved in Kappa, but don't feel comfortable with the nearby alum group (partly having to do with age, and partly having to do with other issues that I'll PM about but can't put on a board).

If you aren't able to find "young alumnae" chapters per se, look to advisory boards, which tend to be "younger."
