(I am speaking from the perspective of a BGLO member and our GLOs tend to have rich traditions of alumnae/alumni who either never go away or take years to go away. LOL.)

As an aspirant I wanted to know who I was expected to impress and whose opinion mattered. It was clear there were graduates who had power. Yet and still, I respected the fact that the current chapter members were able to tell the graduated members "what's what." That impressed me and made me respect the chapter and sorority at large. I didn't want to be a member of a chapter full of punks who got run over by graduates, advisors, local collegiate and alumnae chapters, and the school.
