I would love to see alumnae day replace skit round! NPC has been suggesting that campuses "replace skits with a philanthropy round or a sisterhood round" but if you already have a philanthropy round, you're not going to do it twice, and isn't preference essentially sisterhood round? Finally, the answer!

Maybe for alumnae day, Panhellenic can set a maximum number of alumnae who can attend, just to be fair.

I'm sure pref at the home of an alumna was a really special and touching experience, but I can't imagine the logistical nightmare of executing this today, not to mention inherent unfairness. Alumnae can live in varying distances from campus, and the more chapters your campus has, the harder it would be to organize and transport all the PNMs every which way. Then, there's always the issue of which alumnae have nicer homes, which opens up another can of worms.

I think a max number of alumnae sounds fair- and remember the alumnae don't necessarily need to be from that chapter- they could be from anywhere really. I think the focus doesnt need to be on "look at our famous alumnae" as much as - membership is for a lifetime.

Chapters can talk about things like Homecoming or Founders Day (that apply to the particular chapter) and then add things like alumnae associations.

Is there an NPC about who can speak to PNMs during recruitment? Would alumnae be allowed to get up and actually speak? For some reason I remember alums being allowed in the room, but not being able to speak during preference, but maybe that was just on my campus.

Along the lines of this .. New Mexico State instituted a round called Heritage day several years ago .. the alumnae could be incorporated into something like this ... a day that emphasized national traditions, alumnae involvement, and history.

I'd think it'd actually be BETTER to have alumnae from as many different chapters as possible.

Don't even get me started on the "famous alumnae" crap that so many Panhellenics list in their websites/guidebooks. So often, they list women who aren't even part of the organization, women who PNMs don't know, or someone who is merely related/married to someone important. Really irrelevant and distracting.
