Thanks guys. It makes me feel better to see that we are not the only one's going through this. I still have a theory that alumnae attendence is also a reflection of their experience in undergrad, especially new alumnae. I have been hearing that chapters in the NYC area, hell, in NYS in general (and probably elsewhere) are having issues so this may be the trickle down effect right there. Another issue is that many alums are only focused on their individual chapter. I have had alums from my own chapter who live in the area say they would only attend something directly related to our chapter. I have also had people tell me that they don't want to attend something that they are going to be expected to pay $$$$/work with headquarters/etc. Yeah, I agree it probably would not be the best thing to send out an email like that. We always get one or two in the pot though that no matter what we do, or when we do it, they never attend and then bitch about it. I can deal with that. I guess if it is that important to you, you will come check it out sooner or later. How do you guys deal with people who would probably be a wonderful asset, but think it is "juvenile" to attend a sorority event after graduation? Thanks for the input, I like discussions like this
