What can alumnae be expected to do for/with the actives?

I recently saw the sweetest thing. I attended an initiation for a local chapter with which I am becoming involved. Next to me was a Founder of the chapter from 1940 (you do the math). Every pledge class, she takes on a "chum".

During the pledge period, she sends emails (yes, she is sharp) and cards to her chum always supporting them. At initiation, she had a gift and had her picture taken with all of her chums that were present.

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.
