I wish someone had made the decision for us to do that way back in the dim, dark past, but they didn't, and as I said earlier, it's too late now. Alums get the magazine free for one year after graduation.
Like you, I like having the hard copy -- it's one of the few magazines I get that never gets thrown away/recycled. I have quite a collection.

I agree with all that you said here, although we are organized a little differently, in that we don't have alumni chapters as such. We have local alumni associtions, which are made up of alums in a given area, but the alums of specific chapters are not organized in any kind of formal way. (Remember that most of our chapters don't have houses, so housing support isn't an issue.)
Some chapters are better than others about maintaining good communications with chapter alums. I can say I have seen increasing effort and energy coming from our headquarters over the past 10 years or so to increase alumni involvement/connection on national and provincial levels and to support chapters in doing the same on a chapter level.
