I agree with 33girl. I think that collegiate members, advisors and the people at HQ are probably more concerned with keeping the houses filled and the dues being paid.
It's unfortunate, though, because to many of us membership is for life. It would be hard to change, though, because it's just do darn expensive to keep these big huge mansions up and running. The organizations don't get very much money from alumnae (I think my yearly dues are approximately $30) and if alumnae ever donate, I think they usually donate to the foundation and not the organization itself.
I don't like that so much of it has to do with money, but what can you do?
