It seems as though my question may have been taken out of context. If you re-read my post, you will see that my question was posed to NPHC members as well. I am in no way implying that GLO's membership is not for life. We ALL have t-shirt wearers and tag bearers. And there is nothing wrong with getting defensive, I know if somebody says the wrong thing about my dear AKA, I'm going to be defensive, too. But understand this, in order to get an understanding of different traditions and whatnot between GLO's and BGLO's, conversations have to be had. I think that we can have conversations and disagree without getting bent out of shape about it. Everyone has an opinion. And as someone pointed out to me, just because we have different traditions, neither is right or wrong.
Now, here is a question. How do you feel about your members being allowed, if they so choose, to deactivate from your org? I know that I wouldn't like that at all. Once someone has deactivated (not getting their badge snatched, but on their own accord), can they re-join? Or are they out for good? I have another one!
Do GLO's have alumni initiation, or can you only join as an undergrad?
Ok, I'm done, now.
I think I've asked enough questions for one day!
And I'll answer my own question. I joined an alumni chapter, so my situation is a little different, since it's not going from undergrad to grad. However, out of the 17 lovely pearls on my line, 16 of us are still active. And I'm working on the other one!
