Wow, well, I've been exposed to mainly BGLOs and LGLOs and I've found that while many alumni move on because their lives become very hectic after graduation, many alumni become heavily involved. I know of many chapters whose alumni are actively involved in the recruitment procedures, activities, etc. I attended a step show this past weekend and I was moved to see all the alumni that came out, in full nalia, to support their young sorors/fraters.
Actually, a NPHC fraternity on my campus recently celebrated an anniversary and everyone was buzzing about all the old xyz'ers that came out to our campus to celebrate with them. It was great seeing the young men hanging out and talking with the older members, all wearing their colors proudly.
In all honesty, that is another thing that prevented me from immediately becoming involved in the NPC system. I just didn't see the same kind of "everlasting" love I see from other orgs. I hope I didn't offend anyone by that statement, that's just simply my own personal observation.
