RFMs and QAs

I was trying to brief and ask a question. I have actually contributed to my sorority foundation every year for thirty years and used to serve on the board of my alumnae association. I moved to a new state, had a very ill child and simply did not have enough time to be heavily involved with the chapter at the closest university. I do however go occassionally to alumnae socials. I just joined this greek chat because I read some wonderful advice from several alumnae to PNMs. I didn't expect such a response.
I could ask my daughter who is very gracious and certainly doesn't think ill of me for wanting to learn more about recruitment now that I have more time to devote to it.

A lot of women have to take some time off from being active with their groups during the busiest times of their lives. I also know that a lot of women who are involved in with their alumnae associations/chapters/clubs don't necessarily understand the ins and outs of release figures and quota additions. I'm heavily involved with the operations/chapter development side of my fraternity and wouldn't understand all the new recruitment terms if I wasn't on Greekchat because we have recruitment specialists who focus on those things. You don't owe anybody an explanation

I'm the same way. I am an active adviser, but I would be lost with the ins/outs of recruitment without GC. Actually, I'm still kind of lost.

I was not active for a really long time, too. I moved to the middle of nowhere after college. The closest alumnae chapter was 2 hours away. I donated, but didn't keep up. My chapter was 3 states away. Then I went to law school, started a career, and had two kids, one with ASD. It's only now that I've had time to volunteer. (My kid with ASD was mainstreamed last year and we stopped all of the outside therapies.)

Life happens.

To everything there is a season; for most of us, there have been times when we were really involved and times when we couldn't be. I mean, REALLY couldn't be. How can we judge her? We don't know what's happened.

GC At least helps me to keep up a little bit with the Advisors over recruitment, that way they don't leave in the dust, entirely.
