I don't know about the other GLOs but I do know Kappa already has alumnae associations in the UK.

It is also a chicken and the egg situation, you won't have many alumnae associations if you don't have collegiate chapters. Although you need alumnae support to help a collegiate chapter grow.

I would also imagine that the costs could get out of hand.

On top of alumnae support in the form of members in alumnae associations, you also need National Staff members to be able to travel to those chapters.. For my GLO, we had at least one visit by an Educational Consultant and one by our District President each year. That gets expensive when you have to send people overseas. And it also makes for some major jet lag.

Also, for those collegiate chapters to send members to convention and other regional and national conferences would cost a pretty penny. And this, along with everything else I've mentioned, would require passports for all involved.

It would be much easier nowadays with conveniences such as the internet, but there are many obstacles to overcome as well.
