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.

I just wrote a blog post on this:
Fraternity Friday: Where do they all go? -

I understand that people are busy, and we all go through different stages of life that don't always allow us to be involved with everything. This is life! However, as I mentioned in my post, there are so many members who disappear forever, never once again attending a founders' day or initiation or event of any kind. The NPHC does an absolutely amazing job of keeping members engaged for their lifetime, and I've always admired that.
