What if the chapter has a good reason for not inviting alums? Some I can think of:
1) At some point in time, the chapter incorporated their own "ritual" which is now considered hazing. Bringing the alumnae back will cause them to inquire why this ritual was done away with, and potentially they will throw a hissyfit.
2) Minor changes in the ritual since the alumnae have initiated are not acceptable to them (or they've just forgotten about it!) and thus they may say/do something incorrect during the ceremony.
My chapter makes a point of inviting all alums, but most live at least an hour away and initiation is not at a convenient time for us. Also, with our new New Member program, initiation is later in the semester than before, and thus weather comes into play.
