Hey, I have that cookbook and learned to cook from it!!
Age 21 newlywed, at my first alumnae meeting I was sandwiched among a group of late 20- and 30-something alums who fervently discussed potty training.
Glad I came back to another meeting!
It's not just a Southern thing. I would estimate that only about 5% of alumnae in any given city EVER even come to a meeting, much less get active. I wonder if we had more older alumnae working with a chapter, would that encourage involvement in later years? As a collegiate, I can remember being told over and over that being a DG mean a lifetime, not just 4 years. We actually had very few alums that worked with us....mostly because there just weren't that many in town.
