My mom's an A-Phi "potential member"! :o)

Hey that's great! I'm glad you went through with it. Will she be initiated locally or at convention?

Well, following the EO's advice (btw, I have to say that whenever I've needed assistance from EO they have always rocked, so if any of you are lurkers on the board thanks for the great work!) I put convention on the app, but have been in discussion with the local collegiate chapter about doing it there, since that is where I was initiated and how my mom got "introduced" to Alpha Phi. If we do it there, it would be great b/c I would actually be able to have some of my pledge sisters (who mom pretty much "adopted" during our college days since she was the closest parent in the area) up for a post-initiation brunch or something to make it very special for her. I gave my mom the option of both (including the pros and cons of the actual ritual "performance" if you will), and she'd like to consider doing it at the collegiate chapter since that's where I was initiated.

Anyway, the collegiate advisor was quick to get back to me, but since they are just about to go thru recruitment AND elections (that's a rough schedule!!) she wants to chat with her advisory board first about it after they get all of the craziness completed. It's her first time being involved with an AI as well, so I think we'll all have to see how it plays out!
