I also am from an alum group that is small. For many years we had no college chapter close by, so those new grads moving here spent their time establishing careers and families.

Now that there is a college chapter close, we encourage our members to be active as much as possible to show them that this is a lifetime commitment----without being there all the time or making them feel we're telling them what to do. We hoethat will make them feel welcome to continue to be active alums. On the flip side, when the chapter complains that they don't see alums as much as they want, we remind them they too need to remain active after they graduate, thus continuing the circle.
