Re: young Alumns
Michelle,
This is a great question. I have found that the key to maintaining a strong alumni association and keeping the recruiting numbers up for younger members is to keep good ties with the area chapters. Make an appearance at a meeting or hang with the bros/sisters at one of their events. It breaks down like this.
1. You need to create a cycle. If you yourself are new to the alum status, as am I, go back to your chapter. The odds are that you still know a lot of the people there and they can relate with you. If you can convince a few to join you and show them that the Alumni Association is awesome then others will follow you. Sooner or later you'll develop a continuum or domino effect and you'll see your numbers increase. Before you know it, the alumni association will expand and the older people will actually get pretty excited to see the involvement.
2. This works best when you still live within a commuting distance from your active chapter and school. If you don't I would suggest paying a visit to the nearest chapter and try socializing a little with the older bros/sisters getting ready to graduate. Maybe take the graduating president out to lunch or a happy hour with the guys/girls after work.

Do any of your alumni associations target recent graduates? What kinds of activities do you do?
