As far as Delta, I don't think alumnae chapters for members who graduated in the past 10 years is a good idea. Sisterhood expands age groups and being surrounded by young women doesn't foster the type of growth and mentoring that is part of the alumnae chapter experience. We learn a great deal from our older sisters about our organizations and how to service our communities. I have a network of older and younger Sorors that I can pull from for different things.
Now, as I previously referenced, there are alumnae chapters that are younger in age makeup because they were chartered in particular areas or a younger network of Sorors pushed for the chapter. But anyone who fits the location and other criteria can still join. So this isn't the same thing as formalizing an alumnae chapter only for members who graduated within the past 10 years--which I believe would backfire tremendously in many locations.
