Before anyone accuses me of being cynical, let me just say this is not my opinion. In my chapter, it's a fact. People find it much easier to be followers than leaders because leadership takes thought, work, and committment and is subject to criticism - and that scares people.

Plus, if the important meetings are held "the morning after" a pub crawl, that may explain part of it too. I wish I had a magic bullet but I don't. At least you know you are not alone.

Unfortunally, Jono is Correct.

But, with Alums All over the Country, it is hard to concur, conduct and have meetings of Alums as I refered to before.

Granted, Alums Spread Like The Wind all over the Country, now, the problem is How do You as a Chapter Alum, Email Keeper, or an Advisor Keep in touch with them and encourgae them to Keep In Tune and Updated?

Basically, it is only vie email or Voice Talk as Jono did and set up.



The only Reason Alums come back is Homecoming or Founders Day. Ergo, that is when you have House Corp or Alum Assiation Meetings when Most are there!

UNLESS, there are a Lot of Alums in an area it might work, but how many can be left out?
