Mostly because until recently, our senior classes have been pretty small -- 1 or 2 at a time graduating. We had a drop off in recruitment immediately following our chartering, and even then, we only had 31 members total.
It's tough to get those programs off the ground, because it's generally assumed that there will be alums that are say.. older than 25, and more further along in their careers.
I can think of maybe 1 or two of our chapter's alums in the area that could offer much in the way of career mentoring.
I guess we could make an effort to hook up with the 2000+ alums in our city so that we could make this work, but, unfortunately, our other chapters in the area haven't done much more with their alums than ask for money (one just completed a 2.5M rennovation of their house, the other is in the middle of a 1.5M rennovation).. I figure in 5-10 years, we'll have our own chapter alums out there, we'll have networking down better, and, hopefully, we'll get someone with the initiative to get it done.
