Our city is small so once people graduate they move away.
Our High Rho does Founder's Day, our Newsletter, the website and everything. What we have been starting on is a Alumni Golf Tournament that they Alumni have basically been in charge of and all we do is fork over some money and get Actives to get involved as much as they can.
Some chapters are forunate enouhg to have extreme alumni support financially and in accordance with attendance. However other chapters are young or small or cut ties with Alumni due to the changes in technology over the years. Headquarters has names and numbers of every single person ever initiated at our chapter. However, any names from before 2003 are parents names or from locations where alumni no longer live and due to lack of progress with past High Rho's some of those names are essantially lost forever.

You are absolutely correct about some Zetas having more Alumni. But it is still the same problem with them. Getting Alums getting involved as Brother Jono refered to.
We have a Brother who likes to use the 80/20 % theme. @20 do, 80 do not.
This is much more true than one beleives. I have worked for over 10 years to build a email listing base and still have only 1/3 of Alumni members.
Having a good Rho is "GOOD", when He doesn't then there is a break down between Alumni and Zeta. That is why I keep saying more emphasize should be put on the Officership Position.
I do like the idea of Rho doing FD, White Rose, or Homecoming for Alumni!
Remember if possible He should stay in contact with with The Alumni President to coordinate things if there is one availabile.
RHO, is supposed to keep the Alumni updated about the Chapter.
Alumni President is ment to help disiminate info for Alumni Functions within the Alums.
It is a two way street isn't it? Work with each other as some do not seem to want to do.
As I tell our Alpha, have us informed.
Why:
Alumni donate Money.
Alumni donate time.
