How do you keep alum. interested?
In my chapter we have a problem keeping our alum involved with things. We do send out a semesterly newsletter letting them know what's up with the chapter. And we also invite them to things such as Homecoming Weekend, and a Luncheon we hold the day after our Sapphire Ball. No matter what we do or how much we literally stock them, they never really seem interested in coming back to visit. We as a chapter understand that they have lives outside of the sorority now, but our Alumnae showing even at the Sapphire Ball is usually pitiful. We care about them and want to reach them on a level where we can pull them back in for ideas, support, or just to get to know who are past sisters were. As this years social chair, I am trying to pull them back into our pyramid in hopes that my current and past sisters will be able to connect. Any ideas of how you keep your alum interested in chapter affairs would be GREATLY appreciated by myself and my chapter.
Thanks,
Katie
