I was surprised at the letters in the most recent Trident. I can understand that some alumnae might be upset about the change, but it's only 20 dollars a year (and you don't have to pay that if you're involved in an alum chapter!). You can also read the issues online for free -- and I know not everyone has a computer or internet access, but I think this will become less of an issue as the technologically educated generation goes alum.
I understand that many other groups do provide magazines to all alums for free, but there are some differences here. First, some of these groups are smaller or younger and have fewer alumnae to deliver the magazine to. Second, Tri Delta has recently upped the quality of the Trident quite a bit (at least in my opinion), and it's more professional/of higher quality than some of the other fraternity/sorority magazines out there.
Personally, I think the editors are making the best of a difficult situation, and it upsets me that some alumnae are punishing the foundation by witholding donations simply because they're upset with the choices that the Trident made.
