In both the chapter of which I was a member and the chapter I now advise, we have fairly active Alumnae Associations in the area that do a special "senior dinner." It's usually held at an Alumnae's house, there is good food and socializing and small gifts or awards are given out to the graduating seniors. There is also a short program on the Alumnae experience and a booklet and folder with information on how to get in touch with an association post graduation. We also have an online feature where you can submit your information and HQ will give you the contact info of the nearest Alumnae Association. We really try and make it as easy as possible to get in touch with people and stay active.
I think the level of involvement depends on the person; I knew I wanted to stay active, so I took the iniative to get information on the association in the city I was moving to. Some people may want to wait a few years after graduating to get settled before deciding to get involved and some will never get involved.
I have met some of the most interesting, energetic, hilarious, fabulous older ladies through my Alumnae Association.
