            The Alumnus Council was established on October 22, 2011, during the 2011 triennial international convention.  The impetus for the council’s creation was the larger-than-usual number of alumni attending the convention.  The expansion of alumnus interest is likely the result of the publication of the Pi Gamma Mu Members Today membership directory in 2010 and the conversion of the Pi Gamma Mu Newsletter to an online format.  Until 2010, an initiate would receive a one-year subscription to the newsletter, after which communication between the member and the society would usually lapse.  Since 2010, alumni whose E‑mail addresses are listed on the Pi Gamma Mu Listserv receive the newsletter as a permanent benefit of lifetime membership.

 

TO ACCESS THE PI GAMMA MU NEWSLETTER:

● Editions since January 2007 can be accessed from the Web page at http://www.pigammamu.org/newsletter-archives.html .

● To subscribe to the Pi Gamma Mu Listserv, and thus receive future editions of the newsletter by E‑mail as soon as they are published, follow the instructions on the Web page at http://www.pigammamu.org/newsletter/subscriptions.html .

 

APPEAL TO ALUMNI WHO HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH INSTITUTIONS THAT DO NOT HAVE PI GAMMA MU CHAPTERS

 

     If you have a connection with a college or university that does not have a Pi Gamma Mu chapter (for example, perhaps you have become a faculty member at such an institution), we respectfully request that you help us to organize a chapter.  Our best new-chapter organizers are faculty members who were initiated while they were undergraduates or graduate students.

 

     Perhaps you were initiated while you were an undergraduate, but the institution that you attended as a graduate student does not have a chapter.  Please help us by being a liaison between your graduate school and us to encourage the development of a new chapter.

 

     If the chapter that initiated you is now inactive, please help us to contact administrators and/or professors at the college or university and encourage them to reactivate the chapter.

 

     We have several Web pages on the Pi Gamma Mu Web site that discuss the benefits of Pi Gamma Mu chapters for students, professors, and their institutions.  We encourage you to examine these Web pages and bring them to the attention of others who might be able to organize a chapter.  We also invite you to contact Angela Shear, our chapter-development officer, at (620) 221‑3128.

 

● Start a new chapter:  http://www.pigammamu.org/start-chapter.html .

● Reactivate a chapter:  http://www.pigammamu.org/reactivate-chapter.html .

 

 

            For more information about the role of alumnus members in Pi Gamma Mu, please contact any of the members of the Alumnus Council listed at the top of this Web page.

 

 

[Here, I propose that we have rotating photos and testimonies of alumnus members, as we did with student members.]
