Active And Alum Recognition!
 

This was taken from another thread.

This may be of use for both Active Chapters and Alums.




As an alumnae who feels "shut out" of there collegiate and alumnae chapters, here is the advice I'll give:

1) Give us notice. I'd love to come to your Rush/Founders Day/Banquet/etc., but I need advance notice. If I don't know at MINIMUM one to two weeks ahead of time, there's no way I can make it. And my schedule is pretty light compared to most of my sisters.

2) Return my phone calls. Nothing makes a worse impression than repeatedly leaving messages offering to help, and not getting a response.

3) Keep me in touch with what's going on in the chapter. I haven't received a newsletter since I left school almost 3 years ago. (This goes along with #2... I've told the Alum chair several times, but she's never called me back!) I'd love to hear that you won Homecoming, or got a record NM class.

4) Be nice to me when you do see me. A simple hello when you see me wearing letters goes a long way.

I am sure each of you have felt the same way at times. I will send this out to My Address Book and maybe some will feel Yep, that is why I am not doing anything anymore!:(



Both The Actives and Alums Need Each other to keep the Chapters going.
