Lyer,
My post sounded harsh, and wasn't intended to be. I'm sorry about that. We can use all of the humor we can get.
My experience simply is that, when push comes to shove, it's the older alums who have had the time to establish their lives and careers are the biggest doners -- and they're the ones who worry about the Risk Management and financial issues more.
Returning alumni who are most interested in drinking beer are fun, but should raise red flags for advisors, house corp members and and others in leadership roles.
My suspicion still is that those who want to come back to party and drink are likely to be younger alums.
