My .02 cents is not as much concerning what NOT to say but to say SOMETHING. I've gone back to functions (enough years after graduating to not know the then current Actives) and everyone is grouped with their friends and it's been hard to get a conversation going. I also see this at another Chapter close to where I live now.
On the other hand, this other Chapter did ask me to speak about the local Alumnae Assoc., and both Chapters keep me on their mailing lists, so I suppose Chapters are trying to work with Alumnae.
OK, 2 (Sort of) what not to say's (More like what not to do's) that come to mind are:
Don't be mad at Alumnae for not showing up at events if you never follow up on how many are planning to attend! If a certain number of Alumnae promised to attend an event, then yeah, be mad if they don't attend, but if the Chapter just says they'd like some Alumnae to come to something and don't follow up on how many are attending, don't be mad at the Alumnae.
If it's some type of ceremony or meeting where the Alumnae have asked in advance who all will be attending, please don't blow it off if you have said you will attend!
