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.

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.]
