Oh, absolutely none perceived.
As a former advisor and Division officer, I find it discouraging that we don't have more alumni involvement. It's tough finding advisors for all of our chapters, let alone getting brothers to alumni events.
We do take alumni initiates, but the process is long and tedious. I still think the women really have it figured out a whole lot better than we do. Of course I'm speaking for NIC groups. I don't know how it is in the D-9.
In Delt, there are no national alumni dues. (Our local chapter does ask for $20 a year, I think, and most of that is used for a couple of small scholarships for our chapters in Colorado). In any event, once you've paid you initiation fee, you're a member for life and get the magazine until you pass to the Chapter Eternal.
That's not to say that you don't get fund-raising pitches from the Educational foundation several times a year -- but that's a digression.
