See, I knew I was going to get that reaction from someone. Read carefully. Did I say they SHOULD change? No. I said they COULD if they WANTED to. That's up to the the campus PH and the orgs themselves to decide.

As a regular, ordinary, dues paying alum I have a stake in what my organization does at the International policy level because those decisions reflect on my membership. So I support my sorority, financially and otherwise, but I don't get involved in membership selection decisions. That's the right, the responsibility and the privilege of the collegiate members.

I didn't come up with the million dollar alum thing- somebody else did. I don't know if that really goes on or not nor do I care! It would be as inappropriate for Miss $100 dollar alum to think she has a"right" to be involved in collegiate recruitment decisions as Miss Zero dollar alum or anyone else.

Alums and Alum PHs can best help PNMs and the NPC system by positively promoting the benefits of membership in their community and helping interested women attain membership, whether that's securing references or holding conversation/interviewing skills/resume writing workshops or raising money to provide scholarship assistance to deserving women.

Edited to be a little more reasonable in my comments.
