Hello everyone,
My sorority is an up and coming GLO and we have been having a hard time keeping alumnae involved as well. However, one thing we do that tends to bring alum out is when we have our associates contact them either by email, snail mail or phone. Most associates do either email or snail mail as they are shy to call. We usually have them tell the alum about themselves and why they wanted to be a member of the sorority. Then we make sure the associates asks at least 5 questions--detailed ones--and that usually sparks some nostaglia w/in the alum. Afterwards, I can say we get a lot of email or phone calls from alum that haven't been in contact for years! It works well, but we still need other ways of keeping them involved instead of just contacting us for a short time. I really like all the suggestions mentioned here. I will definitely suggest them to our Nationals!
