Alumnae involvement and support is crucial for a successful collegiate chapter. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, because I believe it from experience. However, the collegiate chapter simply must be allowed to carry on their chapter operations as they see fit (with the guidance of their advisers and appropriate inter/national support personnel). If alums, especially recent ones, keep coming back to chapter meetings it's possible they can influence the chapter especially if seating arrangements, voice, and vote requirements are not enforced as appropriate for your chapter.
It can be especially difficult if the recent alumnae were heavily involved in the chapter. They may still be good friends with the current officers and may think nothing of offering advice or even telling the collegians what to do, just based on their sisterhood and friendships. Yes, this type of thing does happen--and I don't know if this is part of what Dionysus was originally alluding to.

Silver, To True That!
I am sure but mabey not!
It is Tuff for the Hard Drivers to see the Undegrads not do it "LIKE" they did. But, Advise, is a hard topic to cover with out stepping on the toes of The New Officers who maybe feel that they can do it?
That is not an Alums decision.
We All are Protective as Alums whether New Or Old. We just try to do the best that We can and hope it works out!
