I understand your point and agree that this is the way it SHOULD be. But the fact of the matter is that the vast, VAST majority of women are simply NOT active outside college and most do not pay their alumnae dues after graduation. Here on greek chat we are a rather unrepresentative microcosm bec we seem so involved and positive and eager to maintain our greek ties. I'll give you an example: in my area there are over 600 alumnae of DG and only 40 (that's 6.7%) pay their alumnae per captia dues. It is better financially for the greek organization to have members who are active longer rather than shorter. I don't mean to step on the toes of any person who wants to join at any point, simply trying to present another perspective.
