Why would you want to do that?
Just kidding!
It would be a heck of an idea if you are in close contact with your Alums!
There could be a web site set up where the Alums could be in contact with each other. A person who is in cahrge of colelecting email address to keep all informed. Input works both ways if you get my drift.
If there are enough Alums in an area, they could start it and expand. If there are pockets of Alums they could start a sub chapter to work with the Alum Group.
Officers are elected by the Alums. Do they want to do dues. Have a Meeting, do things together, put out a news letter from the Alums or tie it into a News letter with the Active Chapter.
Corraspond with each other and what can be done to help the Chapter.
Make sure that Actives and Alums know when events are going on that they may be interested in coming back to!
Remember, there are two main times that they may come back, HomeComing and your Founders Day!
Do you have a Chapter house? If so, do you have a Houseing Corporation. Do you have a Mentoring Weekend where Alums come back and work with you as an Active Chapter. This entails, Alums who have held the offices and working with those new Officers on a oni on one basis, planning a Semester Calander of events so ALL know. Does the Treaurer know what they are doing, does the recuitment chair know what they are doing. What worked and what didnt.
Alums will only do what they feel about being a member of the Chapter and then how they are made to feel. Keep them informed and you will be more succesful. Ask for their help, it will be forth coming!
