April is Advisor Appreciation Month. When I was a chapter member, I thought that our chapter advisor was 110. She wasn’t; she’s only a few years older than I am.
For the first year or two in the chapter, I did not get it. I am sure I caused her much angst. But then I saw the light and I tried to leave the chapter better than I had found it. I think that I told her several times how much her support and faith in me meant to me. We’ve exchanged Christmas cards and she sent me baby presents. Her son was born at about the same time as my daughter. Today, we keep in touch through facebook. Her efforts helped me understand what it means to be a fraternity woman.
Make someone’s day. Write a note to an advisor (or someone) who has made a difference in your life.
In the “Day Late and Dollar Short” category, this is also Volunteer Appreciation Week. If you don’t have any advisors to thank, thank a volunteer, or become a volunteer. (I might even be able to use a volunteer editor.)
