I think this is a great idea for an alumni chapter as a project. It helps develop ties between generations and I think it would help the pledge to realize they are part of a bigger thing
At the end of each school year, she also has a dinner for all of the graduating seniors.

My chapter has alum chums as well. I received mine at Presents, a few days after I got my sister-mom at the Pledge Ceremony. I was showered with gifts from my sister-mom and that was great...but spending time with my alum chum was great! It reminded me that sisterhood was for life.
I took on a chum of my own right after I became an alum. She's a younger girl from my HS and now, years later, one of my best friends!
