I am assuming that you mean that the Collegiates who graduate will go on to become members of the Alum chapter? Possibly so depending on the area but many collegiates go to school away from home so they will not join the local alum chapter. My alum chapter has people from as far apart as WA and Maryland in it and they didn't go to the same school LOL.
Yes, ideally an alum chapter will support the collegiate chapter BUT not every member of the alum chapter wants to support the collegians. Our alum chapter has a lot more members than who support the collegians reguarly. We have our advisors and our House Corp board but most members of the HCB aren't even active in the alum chapter and vice versa.
An alum chapter is nothing like a collegiate chapter. I can say that since I work with the collegians. They are not usually going to have get togethers every week. Some won't even have them every month. Even if they do they are not mandatory and won't likely have the same people turn up every time.
