We had "Diamond Diads" in my chapter when I was an alpha. Each week, you were paired up with another alpha and it was expected that at some point in the week, you'd meet up to spend time together. It could be something as simple as coffee or chatting before chapter meeting.
One thing I loved were our alpha mailboxes. At retreat, each alpha decorated a manila envelope with her name and collage materials as a way to tell us about herself. A headshot was taken and printed and put on the envelope. Then the envelopes were placed around the chapter room. Each week, members would write encouraging notes to the alphas and place them in their mailboxes. It definitely made us feel special and wanted.
I think it is important for members to reach out and be reached out to on a regular basis. It helps them to feel connected and wanted, and in return, they want to reciprocate and become even more involved.
