We did this at Alpha Psi-- a couple of alum and the chapter sitting round-robin. The alum talked about their lives and what they "wish" they'd known before getting out in the real world. Then the collegians got to ask questions about the alum's careers and for advice about resumes, grad school, the working world, etc. It was really informal and everyone really enjoyed it. I think recent alumnae are a wonderful resource for TME workshops and presentation. Especially recent chapter alum whom the current collegians "know" and can help lay down the rules at spirit week, et all to keep the legacy alive-- it is a huge morale booster for a past president to come back and talk, etc.
