If lifelong commitment is stressed at the undergrad level, why are there some fraternities and sororities that have alumni chapters and some that do not? I would think that there would be a way to facilitate the alumni support thru said chapters in this way.

I think what tends to happen is that while we stress membership for a lifetime and our membership is for life, the participation of alumnae can be kind of hit or miss. It is not obligatory for an alumnae of Kappa to join the alumnae association although there are many, many associations across the country.
My experience in Kappa has been enhanced by my participation in my local Alumnae Association and by advising my undergraduate chapter. I became active as an alumnae because we had great advisors when I was in school. I just saw it as this is what you do when you graduate. However, not all members want to participate on that level.
In short, what was true for members as an undergraduate is true for alumnae members - you get out of your membership and organization what you put into it!
