As an alum advisor to a collegiate chapter and a serious Kappa for life, I can't agree at all with that statement. I still wear my letters on a regular basis and would be rather displeased if I saw anyone who wasn't a Kappa wearing them. They mean a lot to me, they connect me to Kappas everywhere and I've met some interesting and wonderful people because I wear my letters out in public. As for sisterhood and the bonds of friendship...where are they going to come from if there's no one there to support the Greek system? Kappa is very dependent on alumnae involvement, chapters with no advisors or nearby alums really suffer. What you do with your Greek experience is your choice after college, but personally I feel that my need to be involved in Kappa is greater as an alum than it was when I was in college. If Kappa is going to continue to be the organization that it is, undergraduates need the advice and support of those who have been there, done that, gotten the t-shirt, shrunk it in the wash, and used it to wash the car.
