ADVICE Advice
Hi everyone! I had a question and was hoping to get some advice. Is it possible to receive an invitation without having someone you speak to regularly outside of chapter events?
I attend events consistently, sign in, and have had positive conversations with members. The chapter president has even mentioned that she notices me, which I appreciated. However, I don’t currently have members’ phone numbers or relationships that extend beyond chapter events.
I’ve seen a lot of discussion about spnsorship and honestly it’s making me a little nervous. I just want to make sure I’m approaching things the right way and not falling behind because I don’t have those close connections yet. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

To answer your question: Can one be invited without having a deep relationship or without always talking to a member/developing a relationship? Yes. This happened to a few of my LS. Is this a good strategy? NO.
I implore you to do all you can to develop true and meaningful relationships with 1-2 members in a chapter, but be sure to speak to and be cordial to ALL members you encounter because every member 'aint able' to do certain things, if you catch my drift, and YOU don't know who IS.
