In the most recent edition of Delt's magazine, our International President had a great quote. He said when he meets a Delt alumnus and they start to say "I was a Delt from..." He says "Oh, I'm sorry, what was it that caused you not to be a Delt anymore?..." to remind them that you're a Delt for life. Thought it was kind of clever.
But yes, even though I understand the lifetime membership concept I always slip and say "was".
