They are aware that they can stay involved, but they choose not to do so because "sororities and fraternities are only for college kids." That's different from the alums who aren't active because they don't have time, don't live near alumni/ae chapters, etc.

This is an issue that manifests at three points:
1) The recruitment process
2) pledge/AM education
3) continual active membership education
If PNMs are told that the membership experience is lifelong
before they join, and if this is reinforced during pledge education (or whatever you want to call it), as well as during ongoing active member education, then alumni involvement will have always been known, and perceived, as the norm.
