Local trying to go National

[HeavenslilAngel]

I was in a local sorority prior to becoming a founding member of my Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter. Kappa Delta Sigma (the local we were prior to affiliation) started in January 2001 and we were installed as an Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter October 2002. While we sought national affiliation, the local sorority becomes part of your history. I felt the same way about having new letters at first but I grew to love my new letters and since I was one of the first members to join the local sorority I love to talk and remember what is now my local heritage. So you never lose your local sorority, it just becomes part of your heritage. I am still active within Alpha Sigma Alpha and without national affiliation I would not have had the opportunities that I have now. The whole affiliation process took a little less than 2 years. I would be more than happy to share what I remember of our affiliation process if you have any questions.
