Trax, could not agree with you more on keeping in touch with the Alums.
My chapter didn't and wondered why there was NO RESPONSE from us. I got back fully involved and we are do many things.
We have a mentoring group of Alums who go back down and work with the chapter, started an Alum group in Kansas City with more stating around the country, Alums participating in the Ritual, and working towards a new house.
But remember, if the active chapter does not keep the Alums informed then we feel left out and somewhat bitter.
We are having the 35 th Yr. Reunion of when I started the local and where we are now. We have more Alums coming back for this event than anytime in our history. Alums can be a great boon to a house only if you keep them updated on events and news. We want to be kept informed and feel as we are still part of the group. I will always be a Lambda Chi Alpha no matter what!!
