There just isn't enough time for me to really isolate the problems of the National Capital Area Alumni Association and the Section 85 Staff like I want to. So I will just give some suggestions:
*** Hold senior receptions or "Alumni Inductions" for the chapters in your area without an alumni association. I will be happy to share with you what the Mu Alpha Alumni Association did to "induct" graduating seniors into our group.
Okay, that's my only suggestion... the rest of my thoughts were criticisms and policy changes, LOL.....
Let me also add that I don't think it's necessary to involve the alums in a chapter -- most already know how to do that if they're interested. I think it's more important to devise ways to recruit more alumni (an annual national mailing to graduating seniors from major universities likely to relocate to DC; alumni inductions for local graduating seniors, etc).... and of course having a fellowship program that makes sense for younger brothers, brothers with families, and older brothers.
Good luck!
