EVERY Alpha was required to write a letter each week when I was in school. Granted, our quota was never in the twenties, but still, they found someone for us to write to! The most fun one was to our retired housemother, who always wrote back.

As a Delta, it was done on a rotation basis, and you basically had an idea on when you were due to write it. Our Corresponding Secretary would have the envelopes addressed & stamped, and we'd have to turn in the letter by the next morning (read: usually that night!). I never minded doing them, but I don't mind writing letters in any case.

We did try the "Alum Chum"/"Pi Pal" route, but it fell through at the time. I think that, now that numbers are up again, it would be something to think about again. Did anyone else do those?
