It seems to me that the people who think in terms of 4 years and out are always the takers. They use the chapter for whatever benefit it can offer them and then toss it away. And personally, those people make me sick.
That said, there are genuinely some people who just simply don't know what all alumni life has to offer. I think if the alum associations made a little more outreach effort and started exposing the members to what is out there while they are still active, they might be more likely to take advantage of "lifetime" membership.
