AOII is not about having the biggest chapter, the prettiest girls, etc, but about having the best members during college years and after college.

Well said! Especially
after college. We're preaching to the choir here, as most of the AOII alums on this site are actively involved alumna volunteers. The key is reaching our current collegiate sisters, to help educate and set the example that AOII is really for a lifetime. When we achieve that, I believe all of our collegiate chapters will shine even brighter than they do now.
I really believe that alumnae relations are crucial for collegiate chapter success. IMHO it would be almost impossible for a collegiate chapter to survive without a strong alumnae support base, no matter how much International support is provided. AOII has made amazing strides in improving our collegiate chapter support options in the past few years and hope this trend continues.
