Actually, there was a 20th anniversary party last evening. Few alumni showed up because active sisters didn't bother to contact many of them for invites-- and some who ASKED about the party were promised invites or information, and none was ever sent.
I attempted to get to the party, but was late (it was on a boat... so it left dock and I was stuck onshore). From what I heard from the alumni, the division between actives and alumni was so strong that most of the alumni felt like they weren't really wanted there and spent the evening elsewhere on the ship.
Alumni did try to talk to them about some of the history-- because Eta Gamma has a LOT of missing history-- our chapter literally fell apart and was restarted only five years ago. But whenever alumni try to offer to help, our emails and letters go ignored.
It's depressing-- I honestly feel like I want to try to adopt myself out to another chapter.
