Text Box: After the call for culture change at this past Convention, many wondered how this will be done. For starters, we as brothers, both active and alumni have to come to the realization that ADG is not four years and you are done. Rather, ADG should be the fraternity for life. The best way to do this is with the creation of alumni chapters and associations. Text Box: This is an interesting concept that we need to push over the next few years and it begins with you the college student. As you graduate, you will fill the ranks of the alumni. Will you disappear or make this a fraternity for life? The National Council has put together a manual so that you can build your associations and chapters. Alumni chapters are directly related to the chapter where as an alumni association could be formed in an area where there is not a chapter, but ADG alumni are present. So as you get ready to graduate and you plan your life after college, do not forget about the fraternity. If your chapter does not have an organized alumni group, organize one, become proactive.
