I have a charter question- maybe it was answered somewhere else, but I didn't see it anywhere...

When a chapter is re-chartered, do the new members sign a new charter, or is the old charter pulled out of storage? I remember our charter hanging proudly in our sitting room but I wasn't sure what happens when a chapter is re-chartered. (or do they have two charters hanging up?)

The women get to sign a new charter and if there are alumna initiates, they usually get to sign too. The original charter can be returned and both are displayed in a place of honor. Mr. aopirose is a recharter president. The original charter hangs on the wall opposite the new one and next to those are composites of each set of founding members.

Thanks for the answer. It seems like that would be the best solution- honoring both the original chartering members and the re-chartering members.
