How many people are in your alumnae group?

Sounds like a great start! We have a Crescent Circle - that's Gamma Phi Beta's smaller alumnae chapter option. We only have one "official" meeting a year at Founder's Day. It's a great option for areas like the one I am in, where there are only about 15 - 20 alumnae in the area, and of course not all of them want to participate. Do other sororities have a smaller alumnae option?

Also, any suggestions on what would attract you to an alumnae group would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I think we have 15-20 members which is sad for a town the size of Ft Worth & Arlington! however getting anyone to participate is like pulling teeth. It seems like sisterhood isn't a priority to anyone.

that said, if you can get a core of 10 members started and expand from there I think that is a great starting point. It will take the efforts of everyone to recruit sisters to be active members in the alumnae association...it is a lot like recruitment in college!

It doesn't take much to attract me since I would be there and involved, but a variety of events and possibly even focus groups (smaller groups that meet that are a part of the larger group - like a scrapbooking group or a mommy & me group)

ETA - it looks like you had a great start...I posted before reading all of the other posts!

I know AXiD doesn't have many requirements....if you want to qualify for an award you have to meet some guidelines (I think it is 4 meetings per year) but not too many.
