Like lauralaylin, I went to school in NE but moved back home after school. I'm close - but still is a solid 3 hour drive away. I've gone up a few times for initiation or founders' day. I'd go up more often (for like events) if I were invited - or notified in any way.

Generally speaking, I think the best way to encourage alum involvement is to have alums involved with collegians: full advisory boards, house corps, supporting collegiate events, providing workshops on "real-life" stuff like job interviewing, etc.

Is your GLO a member of NPC, IFC, Divine 9, local, service, etc.?
npc

Are you active in your alumni chapter?
very - but again, in NJ not NE, so i'll skip to the end...

In your opinion, is there something than can be done at the collegiate level to encourage alumni involvement?
I think the ecomony discourages recent grads from remaining near my college. Most head to NYC or Boston - or back home, wherever that may be.
