TOWARD AN ALUMNI CHAPTER OF GAMMA THETA UPSILON

Gamma Theta Upsilon is embarking on another venture to increase its service to the geographic community by establishing an alumni membership which will allow initiates to maintain an active identification with Gamma Theta Upsilon after they leave an active college chapter. Hopefully it will encourage our thousands of past initiates who are still interested in Geography to resume participation in Gamma Theta Upsilon activities. The alumni chapter is envisioned as a means of supporting an initiate's lifetime interest in Geography. It will allow the national organization to provide more services to the members, such as an expanded Gamma Theta Upsi Ion program at geographical meetings, an expanded Geographical Bulletin as the editor receives more contributions from members, and possibly formation of active alumni chapters in areas of concentration of geographical employment like Chicago, St. Louis and Washington. They would be able to be active in Gamma Theta Upsilon voting and business without needing a current campus chapter affiliation. A fuller connection with Gamma Theta Upsilon may also stimulate the installation of additional campus chapters.
