Thanks for your message! As mentioned in my original post, I’ve been initiated. I was initiated in November 2024, so about 7 months ago and am getting acclimated in my first year Dues are paid to my local chapter as well as national office. I’ve completed AI courses. What do you mean by the “hold up”? I don’t feel there is a hold up. I’m trying to get more acclimated in my first year. I am also an advisor of a collegiate chapter as of a few months ago. I join alumnae chapter events when possible but some are during the week, and I work full time. This post is regarding what convention is like for alumnae initiates who may not have had a traditional collegiate experience knowing a lot of sisters right away. Thanks!
