As fraternal relations advisor to our collegiate chapter, we do several stay involved things. I will say that it can be VERY HARD to keep them interested, especially if they've been a sister for 3 or more years. There can be a lot of burnout, and they often don't realize that being an alum is actually very different from being a collegian.
1) We invite the seniors to our last alum meeting of the semester (the alums meet on a semester basis also for convenience sake)
2) We host a little reception for the seniors before their last collegiate meeting. During this we talk about commitment for a lifetime, the networking opportunities alum life can offer, the VERY BIG DIFFERENCES between the two groups (especially that the focus really turns to philanthropy issues in a major role and that you don't have to attend stuff - you attend because you want to).
3) We get each girl a nice keyring with letters on it so they'll remember to PACE (Promote Alpha Chi Everyday) and so that when others see it it gives her the opportunity to share.
4) We also send them newsletters and updates for the first year, and offer to help them find an alum club in their area if they are moving.
We are a new alum group (3 years) so we are still working on new ways to keep members involved. The biggest thing is to remember that they should ALWAYS feel welcome but realize too that they may need a break to step back and see the big picture. One cute side note is that it never fails that an incoming alum straight out of college ALWAYS votes to go "clubbing" when we consider places to go for girls night out (the rest of us are saying things like dinner, or a paint your own pottery store, etc.) We all just kind of smile to ourselves and realize its all part of the territory! If I can be of further assistance, please let me know (you can email me too!)
