I've never gotten overly involved with a local Alumni Association although I am on the email lists and (almost every year) pay the local dues. I do want to volunteer to do the college fairs in the high schools if my schedule ever eases up some day.
I am currently finishing up the payments for Lifetime Membership in the Penn State Alumni Association, I think I have 2 left. I'm too lazy too look up all the specifics like others have (sorry), but I think year-to-year AA dues are around $60 or $70 and Lifetime Membership dues are $600. The benefits are similar to what Benzgirl listed for OSU and indygphib for Purdue, the Alumni magazine, discounts, trips, etc etc etc.
It's just really important to me to stay "part" of Penn State because I love it so much. My husband? Couldn't care less about his undergraduate or graduate school. Eh, different strokes.
