Alumni activity in New England

[ree-Xi]

I know that there is a thread about alumni involvement, but I wanted to start a new one to discuss the regional differences. I especially want to hear from alumni in the New England area.

We well know that the competitiveness of recruitment, and participation in Greek life in general is varied throughout the country. The South and parts of the Midwest are obvious hotspots, with a spattering of schools in different areas of the country going strong.

In the northeast/New England area, Greek life, no matter what size at the collegiate level, tends to "end" with graduation. People often say they "were" a member of ABC vs. they "are" are member. So I ask the following questions, with the caveat that you do not have to get specific about things pertaining to your particular GLO:

Is your GLO a member of NPC, IFC, Divine 9, local, service, etc.?


Are you active in your alumni chapter?


If so, approximately how many people attend meetings/events?


How many meetings/events do you have per calendar year?


If you are not involved, why not?


If there was something to inspire you to change your mind and start becoming more active, what would it be?


In your opinion, is there something than can be done at the collegiate level to encourage alumni involvement?


Thanks in advance for your replies.
