If you feel as though you're alumni aren't receiving their proper amount of respect, perhaps you should try to change that. Find a way to show them that the collegiate members appreciate all that was done to make the chapter what it is. It can be as simple as sending a card or as extravagant as a dinner in their honor.
Recently, I've gotten in touch with several of my chapter's alum and although I may not know them, I do know what an asset they are to the organization and how wonderful they are as people. They truly are an endless source of encouragement and assistance, even when you aren't aware of it. I think it's only appropriate that the collegiates treat the alum as well as the alum treat us.
Remember, those of us who are currently still in school and actively involved in our respective organizations will one day be the alum.....how do you want to be treated when you're in their shoes?
