I found the best thing to do for our alumni was to keep them as informed as possible.
- newsletters every semester (including summer!)
- I created email servers so that we can send emails to pertinent people
- website needs to be updated frequently
- Alumni socials/events (not at a club) so that they can interact and talk
- Pledge Class Father/Mother... find an older alumni (usually in their 40's or older) who can act as a parental figure for the pledges. It relates the pledges to the fact that Greek is for life and it relates the alumni to the younger chapter members. This is even better for Mother's/Father's day stuff too, because then they get loads of presents and flowers and birthday presents.
