My fraternity is actually having a reunion today! Unfortunately I couldn't go. One of our more active alumni's organized the whole thing. He reserved the club, scheduled dinner, etc. He also sent out invitations through "Evite" which I know was mentioned here. A lot of people responded but there were still a lot that didnt. I think an important thing is to plan it far enough in advance and send out reminders every once in a while.
There are about 42 people listed as coming(that includes guests) so the turnout I dont think will be that good. It probably has to do alot with the fact that he scheduled it on 4th of July weekend. The reunion, from what I understand, will basically be run like a formal. There will be dinner and everything and then people will go off and play beer pong the rest of the night.
One alumni did email me with a suggestion that I will pass on to you guys. I think it is a really good idea.
A lot of the older alumni have moved on since college. Their idea of a good time no longer consists of getting smashed with the actives, not to mention some cant drink like they used to. Instead, try having a "family friendly" reunion. You could charge admission, and have fundraisers like raffles as well. Women and children would be welcome, but the brothers could still catch up with each other and have a good time too. My idea would be hots and hamburgers and what not, stuff like that
Just my 2 cents.
