I was writing that other post really fast, but that is something I definitely wanted to add. IF THE CHAPTER IS IN TROUBLE, MAKE SURE THE CHAPTER ALUMNAE KNOW!!! Don't sugarcoat the situation or send a letter that sounds like every other letter asking for donations. Make sure that the alumnae know that if things do not change, their chapter of initiation WILL close.
In too many cases the alums are not notified until it's too late and it sucks, because they can make a huge difference, in time, donations and morale. If you can't get an alum list through your HQ, try your school's alumni office.
