Leslie Anne,
I can relate in some ways. My chapter closed in 97 for various reasons from George Mason. We are welcome to come back to the school but basically my chapter got complacent and we went down the tubes. About that same time one of my brothers died in a car accident. The last time I saw my big brother was at the funeral. Its been 4 years now and I think since I've been an alum I feel more spirited about my Fraternity. After graduation I really didnt hang out much except for New Years 2 years ago at LuLus in DC and recently I did reconnect with group of my brothers and it was awesome. Its not exactly the same as it was in college, but we're still very close and recently shared many memories of great times. We still email and call each other even with our busy schedules. I dont think you could pay enough for that. I do feel bitter sometimes about what we lost but those are the times I really try hard and look at how thankful I was of the good times(not necessarily parties). Especially how great we are nationally and the legacy we've had. I will never regret my choice for going Beta and I am very proud of who I am a part of. I could never have gone anyone else.
