Why Not?

Brandi Elmore, President of Tri-Cities, TN Alumnae Chapter shared this from the book Inspiration for Greeks.

Why Not?
People often ask me why I stay involved in my sorority. I have a simple answer- why not? Why not continue the bonds of sisterhood that I enjoyed during college? Why not challenge myself to take on projects and to learn new skills? Why not meet incredibly strong and bright women from across the country? Why not share experiences with women who are twice my age or half my age? Why not revel in the joy of watching a collegiate sister finally grasp a concept? Why not meet new friends who will take you to places of which you would have neverimagines? Why not have friendships that see one another through successes, failures, laughter, tears, joys, sorrows, births, deaths, marriages, divorces,promotions, firings, sickness, and health? Why not take a day of vacation from work to attend a university disciplinary hearing for your chapter? Why not support a sister who is in an abusive relationship or has an eating disorder ora drinking problem? Why not enjoy the love and joy of shared goals and a commonvision? Why not have your own personal board of directors to which you can turn in any situation and at any moment? Why not hold the hand of a sister as she buries a parent, her husband, or a child? Why not sing to a sister as she dances with her new husband at their wedding? Why not serve as a mentor for younger members? Why not get back more than you can ever imagine possible?
Why not, indeed?
