THIS is so important! When I first pledged, I had no idea that alumnae groups even existed! The really sad part is that my chapter had almost seven alumnae groups in VERY close proximity to our chapter, but they never DID anything with our chapter. After serving my first semester as a Rush Chair, we knew we needed more involvement and invited our alumnae for a 'preview night'. We recruited volunteers to help not only financially, but also physically.
I guess it can't be reiterated enough: let people know there are opportunities. Very few people will seek them out on their own!
