So, you do not feel rightous about people calling you for donations? Am I correct?
The Schools get money from States, not enough of course, but, what do we as GLOs get, mostly NADA!
I have been pushing for Congress to give us as Greeks a break for donations and have been contacting my Reps. What have you and anyone else on here done?
NOTHING!

Way to totally jack a thread onto another topic. The question is not about GLO's (or would have probably be put under Greek Life) but specifically about universities and their alumni, Greek and non-Greek.
Senusret - I think it does depend on the school you are an alumni for and the influence that the alumni of that school have. I think you are right on with the Kennedy reference. At SC, alumni have a lot of power because they give A LOT of money.
But to your point, I agree thatit is the undergrads who really need to be putting the effort forward, not the alumni. If this is a student run group that is having issues with the university, the students should take a stab at dealing with it and should ask the alumni for support if they feel that it is warrented.
