For those of you who are seniors or who have graduated recently, do you feel that you knew where to go or who to contact regarding alumnae chapters after graduation? I spoke this evening with an alumna who said she knew nothing about alumnae chapters and had to find out on her own. I wonder if this lack of communication is partially responsible for people not continuing after 4 years?

I think part of the problem (at least in my sorority) is that very few of the collegiate chapters are in towns where there are alum chapters and they don't have regular contact with them. We got the "get involved as an alum" spiel our last semester senior year - worst time for it IMO. Your mind is on so many other things, like finding a job and place to live and maybe making plans with your significant other. I think if GLOs did something a few months after graduation - i.e. after the newness of the "real world" has worn off somewhat - it would sink in deeper.
