[Explicit]

Firstly, thank you for posting this. It's a lot easier to bone up and discuss this when it's in easy-to-read terms.

I completely agree about the Alumni Associations. I'm the president of one we've just started State-Wide in New Jersey, and it can be a real struggle sometimes. There are alumni here that want to stay involved on a larger scale, but don't want to be staff - so the most natural thing is to be involved in the association. On the other hand, it's often an uphill battle getting people involved even on a once-a-month basis.

That being said, I really like the idea of the Alumni Association DSK. I think it's a small step that the fraternity is taking to include more alumni and try to make that a bigger part of fraternity life.

I also really like the Service Themes, even if they are a bit corny. But I'm biased as an ecology person and this is already a big part of my life.
