As I am sure a few of you already know, I am in the process of starting an alumnae chapter in my home town of Corpus Christi, TX. I received a list of all the A-Phi's in the area from IHQ. There are about 50 women, so I am hoping this will be a success. I will be calling these women, rather than sending them something in the mail. I think I would have a better response with phone calls since it would be more personal.
After I call and ask if they would be interested in participating in an alumnae chapter, then what? I have all of the information about chartering, etc, but how do I go about asking for them to help charter? Chartering does take time and effort, and I know many of these women simply won't have the time.
If you all don't mind, I may have other questions to ask, and may also ask for opinions regarding certain matters.
If anybody has any start-up advice, I would love to hear it! This is definitely going to take a lot of work, but I know the end result will be worth it.
Wish me luck (and energy), because I seriously think I am going to need it!
I will also be posting in the "Alumni Involvement" forum to see if anybody there has any advice for starting an alumnae chapter.
