Involved sorority collegiate turns invisible alumna

Also, I think that everyone is comfortable with a different level of involvement.

Ex: yPretty early on after college, I was asked to advise by several people. I didn't want to be an advisor just because the only collegiate chapter I live close enough to is my own. While I absolutely love my chapter, I attended grad at the same school, and I felt like I wanted to be involved in something other than Alpha Beta and our local alumnae chapter.

My level of involvement suits me because I get to be involved with different chapters and projects while not having the level of intense involvement with ONE group like an advisor.

Then on the flipside of this, I have friends who absolutely LOVE advising their hometown chapter and have been doing it since they were first eligible to do so.

Then there are others who are more comfortable with "behind the scenes" type of involvement rather than direct collegiate interactions. Example: one of my chapter sisters works on web development with our Foundation. That's her thing, moreso than dealing with chapters. So it depends.

True story. In addition, comfort level differs with different chapters. The closest alumni chapter to me is filled with women who are much older than me and married with children. In addition, I don't have time for weekly meetings, teas, etc. So, I am currently not in an alumnae chapter.

However, I am still really involved in my sorority as an alumna. I'm working as a colonization consultant and a PR advisor. These are jobs that I'm comfortable doing and that fit the craziness of life as a first-year medical student well.
