Obtain a geographic listing from the Office of Administration of members of Lambda Chi Alpha living near the chapter. A single phone call or letter gets things started. Remember, some of the most active and interested alumni living in the area may be too far away from their initiating chapter to be involved. Members from other chapters may be interested in continuing their fraternal experience by attending alumni functions and assisting the local chapter. Telephone and personally meet with alumni in the area to discuss the proposals of the Alumni Association.
Most members have difficulty rejecting personal and sincere contact.
Directly ask for their participation in starting the association. Step 2 - First Special Mailing Write a letter to the alumni who make up your interest group. This letter should request that they attend an initial organizational meeting. Establish a date, time and location for the meeting, and mail the letters at least 4 weeks before. Include response post cards or self-addressed, stamped reply envelopes.
