There would be no reason at all for writing this unless I could also t
say that I decided to "come back." And I have. I've been living for
three years close to my Alpha O sisters, learning as much of the past as C
I could, keeping in touch with the present, and looking joyfully toward
the future. I've helped with the active chapter work, served on alumnae in
committees, and tried to give what I could. But did I say I was going o
to write about how to keep youth? So I have, for if you keep in touch c
with your sorority you will never lose the viewpoint of youth. And isn't o
that really all that matters? Even now, at this late day, I can feel o
my aged point of view giving way to youth's hopeful outlook. Maybe b
my hair is still gray, and the extra ten pounds are still with me. Never- fa
theless, I can rejoice with my younger sisters in their achievements,
sorrow in their defeats, and show them perhaps how we of Alpha O have L
that within our hearts which helps us carry on. Is i t worth while? n
Take the word of one who has tried forgetting. Keep step with your I
sorority, whether you are near or far, and you are keeping step with k
youth. Were you or are you an Alpha O?
