You didn't say how large the group is, but if there are enough younger members you may want to try to form an interest group. Many of Kappa's Alumnae Associations have what they call "Night Owls" groups which are ususally members under 30. Typically they'll meet to go see local bands, or other evening events.

Programming is key for uniting the two groups. It's difficult to find common interests, so focus on the things that brought us together in the first place: sisterhood and philanthropy. Ritual workshops are always interesting for any age, and some alumnae groups enjoy doing sort of an initiation reenactment for those who haven't participated in the ceremony in a while. Kind of like renewing your vows if you've been married for umpteen years!

The best tip I learned was from one of our Alumnae Association presidents. Make this message clear: just because you join the association and pay dues doesn't mean that we're going to make you do anything! This is the best way to attract new members who once they get their feet wet become involved. No one wants to jump in feet first and do everything, but members do take on more responsibility gradually if the group means something to them.

Good luck!!!
