Even an email newsletter is better than silence!!

Also, you'll find that many alumnae WANT to help out during Recruitment, but
1) Are told the dates too late to get a sitter/make plans.
2) Aren't told what to wear (who wants to wear a black dress when the chapter is wearing shorts & t-shirts?).
3) They feel that all the chapter really wants is money, not them!
4) They are ignored when they do show up.

My chapter is getting better at this; we'll get a Wish List about a month prior to Recruitment, along with dates/themes. Now, to get them to update the Wish List so 20 people don't buy the same thing...!
