I would wager if a GLO ran around saying "Barry Gibb* is an alumnus!!" but Barry Gibb was a real cheese dick in college and still owes his pledge brothers tons of money, those guys would have NO problem saying "yeah Barry Gibb was a brother, but he's a cheese dick and not welcome at the house at homecoming." I'm sure if a situation like that comes up, the GLO downplays the famous person's membership quickly and doesn't put them on the website.
The majority of NPC and NIC members don't donate as alums. That's not really a reason to not claim someone.
