Active-Alumni relations

[kat1946]

Don't try to get adopted by another chapter...just keep trying!

I know VERY well about Eta Gamma's almost disapearring.

My suggestion for you is this...
Organize your alumni - not always, but SOMETIMES, students feel awkward with alumni. The other reason is because they are BUSY being students. SO, if you organize the alumni with ONE point of contact with the alumni and ONE with the actives...it'll be easier. If the alumni help create the list of people to be contacted and help write articles for alumni newsletters, it will help.

Also, the next thing would be this, what are you offering? And I'm not saying that you ARE doing this, but some alumni have been known to head back to their chapters (again, not saying you) and impose themselves and not allow the actives to develop. Is it possible that if you aren't doing this, another alumni has or is doing this so they are therefore avoiding. Not saying it's right that they would ignore the help, just throw yourself back into their thoughts.

BUT, PLEASE TRY! TBS needs their alums...if nothing else, get involved with the NEDAA and find other ways to help.

Sorry for the frustration!
