Don't alienate your alums!!!!!
I went back to help out with rush the fall after I graduated, and the then-chapter president was extremely rude to me. I had absolutely nothing to do with my chapter, or AEPhi at all, for a long time after that (other than to keep my address up-to-date).
As an alum, I've seen my chapter do everything from nothing at all (the norm), to sending out an email or two, to sending out a newsletter listing a few accomplishments and begging for money, to sending out 2 or 3 mailings over the course of a semester. It all depends on the alumnae relations chair - some are better than others.
And I'll second the idea of letting alums know about activities far enough in advance that they can attend.
