And there are those who continue to serve without being associated with a grad chapter. I didn't belong to a grad chapter when I graduated, but that didn't stop me from volunteering my time, getting involved, and giving back to the community. I don't know if people knew I was an AKA or not (except for my little sister and her mom

), but I didn't do things to showcase my letters. I know that everyone has a tendency to backslide or get lazy, but if you are truly committed to the cause you'll do it one way or another.
