Thank you, James for providing your ideas. I hope that a lot of people will be able to strengthen collegian-alumni relations this way.

I am fortunate that my collegiate chapter has fabulous alumnae support. In fact, they have been a 5 five star chapter 5 years in a row!!! They absolutely love being included in our events (Rose Ball, fundraisers, etc.). At our last initiation last semester, one of our alumna actually cried because she hasn't seen an initiation for 17 years. Being a military wife she wasn't able to be a part of an alumnae chapter until she moved to Honolulu. The alums are also the ones who hydrate and feed us after a long day of washing cars. And they're also the ones helping 10 girls fundraise to go to Convention this year.

Because of moments like that, the alums mean so much to me, and I wish the best of luck to all of you.
