When I was a pledge, the pledge letters and sister letters were snail mailed. As a chapter advisor, i used to get snail-mail Alpha & Delta letters. Around 2001, we started having the EVP forward them via email to the entire advisory board (and CPD). That practice continues. I found it very helpful to get to know something about the women in the chapter I didn't work with closely (esp. after I rotated to new roles). This helps with Slating and for sorting out the various episodes of drama!
