Speaking as an alum, the things that I love to see in the newsletter than I get from my chapter are the positives:
*How many women did you pledge? (with hometowns)
*How many women graduated and what are their plans?
*Who are the new officers (with their hometowns)?
*I can find out international awards on the Pi Phi webpage but what are the awards and recognitions on your own campus?
*Events that are long traditions will tie your alums to the current chapter in ways that the Arrow can't. (like Songfest at UT... I love seeing pictues and hearing about it)
If you use a commercial company to produce your newsletter-- the one that promises $$ will go to the chapter if alums pay for subscriptions-- let your alums know how much you DID get (if any). I've always been hesitant to donate that way because I'm not sure the $$ really gets to the chapter. I'd rather drop some cash in the bowl at Homecoming!
Hope this helps--
