Great thread! And a topic near and dear to my heart.

As Polarpi has experienced, geography is often the greatest challenge we face in New England. Some of our alumnae associations draw members from over a 100-mile radius. This makes it tough to just get together for coffee or drinks!

Many of our groups also have trouble capturing younger alumnae. This is probably due to demands on time, and not prioritizing Kappa. Part of the solution is programming: offering varied activities that are not just social in nature, but involve fraternity education and philanthropy.

Capturing just 10% of the alumnae listed on membership rolls and involving them as dues-paying members is an achievement for an association here. I'm still working on building the better moustrap that will make alumnae beat a path to our door!
