Hi All - I know I'm late but want to also add that for some BGLO there is an issue of cost. For example, to be active in good standing in my chapter one must pay chapter dues AND $1200 for housing. Many of my Brothers say they can't afford to pay such amounts especially young Brothers that are in the process of buying homes, having kids or getting married. The other thing that I know is an issue for some is that many grad chapters don't do enough in the community. Personally, I'm tired on serving on every committee. I becoming burned out and want some other Brothers to step up to the plate. Especially those Brothers that only show up at chapter meeting to critique but never volunteer.
Nonetheless, perhaps the answer to the question is that orgs need to solicit its memebership and encourgage participation. I often ask inactive members to serve an judges and screeners for my chapter's programs. It is my hope that Brothers then again feel the fraternal spirit and see that they are also needed to hold up the Light of Alpha.
