News Letter! A Great Idea! Cyber is good if and only if everyone lists their email address!
Printed copy with Mailing address is also very good! But, it too will only be as good as the updated mailing information is. Who sends updates to Your Chapter or Your National to keep it current!
We used to have one Called the Lambda Gram visa vie the Local Chapter but remember, you have the cost of printing, stuffing, licking (
) and postage.
What it did, was come out each Semester outlining the social schedual, important dates, HomeComing, Founders Day or Important Recruitment functions.
Included was a Bio of an Active Member or Two , An New Associate or two, and a couple Alums! Add to that wedding and birth Announcements.
This can be done in a fold over printing of say two pieces of paper but have eight pages for cost. It is also bulk mailing that may go through your school! Forget Pix, to expensive!
If an Alum thing, try to get it run through the Active Chapter or the Alums kick in for expenses!
One very big peice of advise, Keep the Alums and The Active Chapters in contact with each other! You lose that, then you lose all continuity!!
Been there and done it or have seen it done!
