I kind of look at this differently. From what I understand, NPHC groups have undergraduate and graduate chapters where the meeting structure is pretty much the same for both categories - and as we all know, they have a LOT more active alumnae than NPC groups do. Maybe the key to making NPC alumnae appreciate their membership more is by asking more from them. I feel like sometimes we make it TOO easy for alum chapters to start/maintain themselves.
If all they are willing to do is send in a report once a year, maybe it's time to create a different kind of alumnae chapter, an "Insert Your Jewel Here Circle" or something.
