The biggest trouble with alum orgs as I have seen them is that only the heavily interested people with their own visions get involved. Often, you end up with too many chiefs, too few indians. This can become problematic.

Alumni organizations can work but often do not. A lot of us would love to stay involved but aren't left with a lot of options.

I always thought that a well-functioning alum association/chapter would look like a Kiwanis/Lion's Club type organization.
