I am very sorry to hear all of this about Alums not being invited to Formal Functions.
Agree With ktsnake, I always go back for two main functions which include a dance function.
I have been away from College for many Years, but always go to Founders Day and Home Coming.
Maybe it is because I have been a functioning member of the Chapter for many years. But, while I am the Oldest, I feel good about being around not only ALL of the Alums that come back, but with the newest Members.
I wish I had the Pix that One of the Brothers took while I was dancing with His Daughter, The President of ASA Chapter.
Maybe Guys have a closer Bond than Women?
But, in reading this, tale of woe Alums, when the sh*t hits the fan, who do The Chapters turn to to bail them out?
Just how can a National tell its Life Time Members, No No You Cant Go!
I agree with OTW, do not ever shunt me off!!! I am a Member (Put In Respective GLO), and want to do what I can.
Belittle Your Life Member Alums and see what you get when You just might be in need in the Future!
Will It Be A Ding for Good, or F**k You, Donk!
Forget Me, No, Forget You!
