AI Sponsor Dilemma

[SWTXBelle]

It would depend on the way A Chi O does their AI program. If like Gamma Phi you are extended an invitation by the chapter, and not an individual, I would ask the chapter for guidance. It may be that they have a policy in place.

I don't see this as "CHOSE YOUR FRIEND OR THE SORORITY!!!". I would hope that she is joining Alpha Chi Omega for many reasons, and not just because her friend is one. It would be possible to continue her involvement with the chapter AND support her friend - just as she would for any sister.

^^^ This is what I was thinking.

Wow...my heart goes out to your friend. I pray all goes well.

I would give it a little bit of time, and then as others said, the chapter may be able to advise you. Actually, they may already have some steps in mind. I don't know A Chi O's AI process, but your friend may be able to provide a signature and let others fulfill the more time-consuming elements of her role.

Just continue to be a great friend! If you are loving and supporting this woman in genuine ways, I highly doubt that a grown woman with her mind on her sweet babies will accuse you of 'only loving her for her letters.'

Good luck!
