I went to one last spring. Our alumnae group attends so that we can show the graduating collegiates how they can continue to participate in Greek life after they leave college.
As someone else said, each of these send offs vary from chapter to chapter. The one I went to was called a "Strawberry Social." The alumnae bring chocolate covered strawberries (strawberries are one of our symbols) and other desserts. We explain to the seniors what opportunities are available in the alumnae chapter and invite them to affiliate with us.
Then, each graduating senior has an opportunity to tell the group what was most special to her about the fraternity. There are lots of laughs and tears during this time. The girls are given presents from both the collegiates and the alumnae.
This is an open event-- relatives who are not Zetas sometimes attend.
