I would not mind heading south to visit the ladies in the Seattle/Tacoma area though! I would love to

Ah hem...you better plan on coming to see your TRIAD/A-PANHELL/&BETA SISTER...

Most events have been w/in 8 miles from home (one was about 16 miles one way).

Every org is different but I guess if your chapter of interest doesn't have a problem with it I'm sure you could make it work. My chapter is about an hour from me, on a good day with no traffic, and as everyone else has said it's well worth the trip to be with my sisters.

mile-wise, i don't live far from the main events, but traffic-wise, it can take me up to an hour to get there. it isn't that big of a deal. sometimes i don't go to events on week nights if i have something for work the next day because i know i will be exhausted (i work 1 hour in the other direction). the good thing about being in an alumnae chapter is that there isn't a ton of pressure to be at every single event! m you may even find out that several of you drive from the same area, so you can have driving pals or you can have a sub-group that meets in your area sometimes.

I am about 40-45 mins from my original chapter and they are the place the alum assoc holds the meetings. Its just hard when you are at work and honestly work is another 25-30 mins from Akron in downtown Cleveland so I am around a hour and a half from it and never can get there on time. Two times I attempted to go but it was such a drive I was like a hour late for it. I did hear we have another ADPi alum assoc in Cleveland that Im in contact with, but noone is really involved in it. It stinks when you want to be involved but just is such a drive you cant get there. I work till 6 most nights so I cant make my meetings.
