I agree with you wholeheartedly, however, in my local, it's difficult to follow this. I've been an alum for a few years now, and I just don't have the time or resources to be as involved as I'm needed to be or want to be. Actives will contact me with problems, but usually after its too late to do damage control or they just plain don't take my advice. Then I get phone calls from other people bitching and want me to get involved (I held a number of positions when I was active- the girls usually followed/listened to me- not to sound like that but you know...). Once I do say what I have to say things tend to settle down. My point is, in my case its hard to walk the line.
