My sorority is relatively young, and as such many of our alumnae are at a point where they are still in grad school, just starting careers or having or have small children.
Also, because we do not have a large number of chapters yet, we don't have a huge pool of members to grab leadership from. We're having issues filling local positions as well as national positions.
My first question is, how was this transition time period handled by the older organizations? How do you keep alumni involved and motivated when most of them are at a stage where they can not devote as much, or any, time to the organization, while not burning out the few highly active members in the mean time? (Until they reach a point where they are settled in their careers, their children have grown up and/or left, or they reach retirement age, which are all still fairly far off for the majority of our members!)
My second question is, what do alum chapters/groups do? Yes they are support to the actives and they keep in touch with each other, but outside of that? I dunno. What do your chapters/groups do?
Any advice appreciated
