It's up to the alums to stay involved with the chapter as much as it is up to the chapter to stay involved with the alums.

The Alumni officer in the chapter should not be thought of as a lower-tier stair-stepping position. It should be a pretty big deal.

There should be a great deal of collaboration between the actives and the alumni chapter in the newsletter.

The Alumni chapter needs to make sure it offers qualified advisers to the chapter officers.

The Alumni chapter needs to financially be able to support the chapter.

The Alumni chapter needs to keep the House Corp. staffed with the best it can offer.

The Alumni chapter needs to be willing to offer 'strong guidance' when it is needed, and when it is not to keep its influence to a minimum. Let the chapter run itself.

A healthy interaction will ensure the chapter is a success.
