How would you feel if the Adelphean went down to less issues a year, as some other GLOs are doing, or if it went digital?

Inspired by this thread:

The organization has investigated this as options before...

However what I was told is that by sending out 4 times a year we get a cheaper rate than if it was mailed 3 times a year (different postal bulk rate apparently)... so from a costs savings it wouldn't give ADPi much in savings...

I think I posted elsewhere that they are looking at posting some of the articles from the Adelphean online in a Word format...

yeah we talked about this in a different thread..cant remember which at the moment.

Itd be nice to have archives online but I enjoy getting the printed versions as well...especially if I want to keep editions for various reasons. I still have my first adelphean I received as well as the one in which I made my first appearance. I'm also saving this last one not only because I was in it but Mrs Goddard's opening speech was very good and its helped me try to get through to my girls.

Still not getting a copy of The Adelphean, none of my chapter sisters are.... and I definitely put on Pride Online that I want to receive it.

I like the printed version, I don't know, maybe it's being in college and the idea of getting mail (or well, ADPi getting mail).

Boo to not receiving Adelphean. I too haven't received it and it bugs me.

I've already called EO about it. I guess I need to call again.

We discussed a little of this here.

I am all for having some of the articles online, especially some of the photos - but I also love, love, love the magazine itself! Not having it available would really deprive a lot of the elder ADPis from a much-looked-forward-to treat, and I am thrilled when I visit a client and happen to see an Adelphean or any other sorority magazine!

ETA: I do think that there should be a date on our website, stating something to the effect that "if you haven't received your Summer (Fall, Spring, Winter) edition of the Adelphean by (this date), please contact EO."

Ok spoke with the Associate Director at EO and she said for anyone not receiving their Adelphean to email aed@alphadeltapi.com and she will personally look into why you're not receiving...
