When I came to my city after graduation, I was forced to make friends on my own. I would have done anything for a sisterhood. I really expected more of alum life. I think that the NPHC does better of this. NPHC orgs in my city have events that make the newspaper and social pages.
I am not saying that we should have mixers, but, it would be nice if all of greek life could have more of impact like they that they did the university. Sure, people have kids, etc. But, we still have our bonds.

A few years out of college, I met a brand new alumna where I worked. She had been president of her college chapter.
"What day of the week do we meet?" she enthused.
I was sorry to have to inform her that we MIGHT meet once a month, September through May, and often the meetings were canceled due to lack of interest.
But honestly, once I get home at night, I really don't want to get back out and drive 30 minutes to a meeting. I wind up only going to Founders Day....couldn't even do that this year since it was the same day as my chapter's and I needed to go to that.
