This is a real good thread.. I have gotten a couple of good ideas from it...
Until this semester we really didnt have much contact btw our alumni and our chapter. We have great advisors (alum) that help us out and are very dedicated, but that was about it. SO.. my main goal was to improve this.. I got selected as the IG chair of alumni relations...
this semester I have...
set up a listserv-- i have emailed them a bunch about upcoming activities to invite them to them.. also so they are aware of whats going on
set up an alumni section to our website-- they can put announcements here
held an alumni brunch before a football game
created a newsletter
an updated a lot of files.. granted this is not a lot but has taken up a lot of my time.. since we had only a list of names without really update email or addresses..
though i have gotten such good feedback from them. Everytime I send out an email to them, I get at least 15 back saying how great this is and how excited they are.. I hope that if we keep up this our alumni will start coming back more and more to things.. my goal is to have at least 30% come back to our 25th anniversary formal (still a few years away)...
