If the collegians, can't get it together to have a newsletter for the alumnae, then you can help!
Meet with the area alumnae association and propose that you become Chapter Relations Chairman. This is also a great position for an adviser of the chapter to hold. Attend an exec board meeting and get an update on recruitment numbers, philanthropy projects, chapter accomplishments and chapter needs (IE: A new furnace, etc.) Put together an insert for the alumnae newsletter and send it with the regular alum assoc mailing.
Or, start a free Yahoo! groups list and encourage collegians and alumane to join. Share information, coordinate meetings, recognize monthly birthdays, chapter achievements, etc.
Get involved with the chapter! When alum come around and help out with advising, recruitment, education workshops, etc., it helps the collegians realize that the experience is for a lifetime and they will integrate you into their events.
