Don't forget Alumni Involvement
When I went through rush, someone gave me a great tip.
Be sure to ask about Alumni involvement.
Do Alums come back for Homecoming?
Do Alums provide financial support?
Do Alums offer support through Advising, House Corp, & undergraduate programing?
If the Alumni support is strong then the chapter can provide its members with invaluable networking and career opportunities, plus you know that things will be fixed around the house and nothing will happen to the chapter without a fight from the Alums.
If the Alumni support is weak, you have to wonder why? Did they have a bad experience? Were they overinvolved as undergrads and now burnt out?
Alumni support is very important. That's how my chapter is able to finance building a new chapter house. That's how I got my first internship. That's how I met some awesome mentors.
