Ok, I wasn't sure where to post this, but I figured this would be a good start. I am tinking about reaffiliating with my Chapter of Sigma Kappa here at WSU but I do need some advice. Let me give you a little background.
I joined in Fall of 98 and was an active member for one year. I was treasuer for the last 5 months that I was there, and enjoyed being on Exec and having an active role in the chapter. However, at the time, Iw asn't very social, and i don't think that I took full advantage of the interaction opportuinites with my sisters. Due to (and this is the truth) me haveing a "freshman year" (read: not so great grades) I decided to go home and take a year or two off of school and get my priorities straightened out. While I was home, I helped to re-colonize an defunct Alumnae Chapter in my area and tried to remain an active member of it as much as possible.
This summer, I decided the best thing to do was to come back to school and get my degree. Most of my pledge class will be graduating this May, but the new members (ones that I don't know very well since they joined while I was gone) are very positive and friendly, even to the alum that they don't know who drops by. Every time I have come to the house, I have been revieved warmly, not as "that alum here again...". Recently I have been thinking about reaffiliating with my chapter and living in the chapter house next year. I do not know how a 22 year old junior will be recieved, but I will not be graduating until at least May '04 or May '05 due to a doible major, so I will be here for a while. I have talked to a couple of the older members Iknow, and some of the newer ones, and mentioned the idea vaguely and it hasn't been ill recieved, which is good. I've also ben encouraged to come to as many events as I can make it to (which almost makes me feel active and not some old alum... I love it!)
My question: Am I too old for this? Should I just remain an active alum and support The chapter from this side? Or should I reaffiliate and perhaps gain more confidence, leadership, and sisterhhod, and many wonderful memories?
Please, any and all answers would help!!
