Ha ha! Tom you're funny! "Horror Days"...I hadn't heard that one before. I'm going to combine it into a snappy new phrase with my favorite pet term: "relaticks". As in:
"I'm spending the 'Horror Days' with some 'relaticks'."
I'm still riding high on my euphoria, but blueangel, you're absolutely right...since AI is relatively rare I know it will take awhile. I too have been pursuing this for awhile and the AI Coordinator I just talked to is the third one I've chatted with in the past couple years. When I told her I wanted to be sure to talk with her first instead of breaking protocol of sorts and contacting an alum chapter "cold" she said that was absolutely the correct thing to do, since most alum chapters probably don't even know what AI is. This will give her the chance to contact them (as an agent of the Fraternity), introduce herself and explain her reasons for contacting them and explain AI. She said she would get right on it, so I'm assuming that now I'll have to wait for them to get back to her, then her to get back to me...and just basically "hurry up and wait" until something happens.
I sent her a thank you note on Saturday for spending time on the phone with me last week. She should've received it no later than today, so at least I'll still be somewhat fresh in her mind.
Thanks for all your support! I'll definitely keep everyone posted. This forum is the primary reason I'm pursuing this so intensely again.
