Re: the Gamma Phi Beta crying when she was carrying her flag... I can so understand that. To this day I do not subscribe to our magazine. I love DDD and everything our ideals represent. But looking through the magazine is depressing. It is always full of info about open chapters, but naturally nothing about my own.

I am from a closed chapter as well. While I wasn't active when we closed (it was a semster after I transferred) I was still involved with the chapter.

To this day, I remember the mood on the conference call before people from our nationals got on. We all knew what was coming and a lot of us joined the call early to talk. Instead of the excited chitter chatter that preceded any other conference call, the mood was very somber and low already. I know for a fact that I wasn't the only one crying when we were officially told the news. I don't wish it on anyone.

Looking at the Torch is very depressing for me...at the same time, I do it to remind myself of the good times and hope that one day, Alpha Omicron will be back, better and stronger then ever.
