Agree. I think it's pretty over-blown and seems primarily to be a reason to get/give a mountain of gifts. Many GCers will tell you their membership really started to flower once they became alumnae. It's different, no doubt, but it is still valuable and precious.
Best to move on and discover a new level of sisterhood and not worry about what the 18 year olds are doing or what you missed as a 19 year old member.
