Regardless of the mix of Active and Alumni, a printed posted and snail cost can be prohibitive to many Zeta.
It is so much easier and cheaper to put out an electronic message. Even a printed mailer can only be a 4 page fold over, it can still cost a lot of money in mailing alone.
While the burden will fall on the Rhos shoulders, remember, they are usually there for only one year. So, 1-4 good Rhos are good, it only takes one to blow the whole thing out of the water and the ball is dropped.
As Brother Jono pointed out, it is supposed to be a twice yearly publication which is all well and fine=money again.
While We all want to know about OUR ZETA as Brother John mentioned there is no need to just fill the space alloted.
Chapter news letter:
1. Semester events with time line.
2. Chapter News.
3. Active Info-two.
4. Alumni Info-two.
5. Special events.
6. A contact to change email, address, phone number. The Rho/Alumni President or a member of Alumni group.
While these are just some of my thoughts and from getting our newsletter in the past, it worked for may of us.
Another idea that I saw was and we used to do it was to have an Officer Chapter email that was passed on when people changed. It stayed with the Zeta and was just changed by the new officer signing up for it. It is usually provided free via the school edu site. Thank you for remeinding me of that!
