The fall after I graduated, I went back to help my chapter out with rush. The rush chair was grateful for my help, and I did get a very nice thank-you note from her - but the chapter president was very nasty to me (where PNM's could hear her, to boot), with the result being that I have had nothing to do with my chapter since then. Now that more than 4 years have gone by and all the actives involved have graduated, I'm thinking of getting back in contact with my chapter.
I don't believe many actives really appreciate the time and effort that alums put in. We rearrange our work schedules, we arrange for babysitters, we leave our spouses at home for the evening, sometimes we drive long distances, etc. There are, of course, actives who make similar sacrifices, and I think they have some appreciation of what we go through as alums, but I think they're in the minority.
