It's great for several reasons:
1) Alumnae are thrilled to get them. They'll be HAPPY to write a rec next year if they're asked. Or to be an advisor. They might even be HAPPY to write the chapter a check for the next house/chapter room renovation! Or foundation fund-raiser!
2) It makes new members more aware of good manners, the recruitment process, how important alumnae continue to be, and how they are linked to ladies much older through their sorority.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten one in probably 15 years.
