I would be careful about saying this of "all the other greek orgs". My organization ALSO emphasises that membership is for life, and we encourage Brothers to stay active as alumni volunteers &/or members of Alumni Associations.

I can't speak of other GLOs, but I would think that MANY others do the same.

Of course, there are many GLO members who don't get the message, and yes, think that their GLO membership was "just something fun to do in college"
