Hey DZ rose, I love Atlanta and know what you mean! KD has about 4 associations and they are all full.
I think it is a good idea to ask to split too, many times we have different areas or day and night groups too!
By the way, one of my best friends in the world is a DZ and is awesome, I got the chance to meet one of your national officers during Something of Value and she was the best!

Hi ecukd,

Thanks for that post! I really like hearing from people who know my sisters and love them as much as I do! By the way, one of my very good friends is a KD. She is a flight attendant and visits me whenever she's in Atlanta. Also, we just did a huge charity event with the Atlanta KD chapters and 17 other NPC sororities a few weeks ago, so I met several KD's there too!

That's so disheartening Leslie. It must have been a tough feeling to digest at that dinner.

I know I've been to some alumnae events where I felt like I was the only person in the room who felt out of place. But at one event, I was talking to some women, and I said "You know, I know we pledged at different chapters, but aren't we all here in support of the same ideals and values?". It was a pretty moment-changing statement. For the rest of that meeting, we talked about our experiences and what we were doing to continue our life in our sorority.

Now, the reason you may have felt out of place was because you were with women from the same chapter, so sharing experiences wasn't really possible, as they all had similar ones, while yours were different. I say stick with it. The more people you meet, the easier it will get, I PROMISE And maybe you can get some recruits in the area yourself, making it a little easier on you.

Best of luck

DZrose93,
I know what you mean. I thought when I graduated that my sorority life was over, but it really just began!
I meet so many sorority women on a daily basis...I too love to hear fun stories about fellow sisters.
My Alumnae Provience President was the KD responsisble for starting the Greater Northeast Atlanta Association(I think that's the name)! But now we have her around us, but she loves that city, but is glad to be out of the traffic.
Have a great day!

Yo Les ann. What is up with you? Have you been able to get situated with a group? It can be hard! My guys assoc. with a at large alum group and it never really worked out! We split into our own and have more of my chapter Brothers attending thanever befor! Funny tho I was at the Sen. Golf Tourn. in KC and ran into one of the guys from the other alum group and we are still good friends! It may take a while to find the spot but, they are still you sisters. They just have a little more in common together for the moment!

Thanks Les Ann, alot of times if the AA is from mostly one chapter they have a lot in common. But remember you all have one thing in common! Sometimes they and we forget that. Everyone is centered on their own chapter. Hand in there and get to know one at a time and walla you will once again be in the group!
Each chapter has had their trials and tribulations that they remember and relate to. I never met A person that I did not like until they proved me wrong!
