Thanks. It's funny that we have those different perceptions, though I know that I am hypercritical of Delta Chi and would probably disagree with some of the praise that we get. You're not the first NPC alumna I've heard of that has not been engaged for volunteer roles, KSUViolet's comment would confirm that as well. I wonder if NPC groups' very organized volunteer structure makes it more difficult for alumnae to "break in" to the system.

Most of my money goes to the Annual Fund, but I also donate to very specific things like the minority student orientation or my department. Or...gasp! The Sports Foundation. Because of our specific issue, some of our sports programs are woefully underfunded.

My feelings here are the same - maybe because we are a young university, or because of our basketball success was so unifying but I feel like Mason alumni are very supportive of athletics, construction, and university initiatives as a whole. Maybe SthrnZeta has some insight on this...
