I don't know how to quote from more than one post....earlier in the thread someone said s/he would meet people who say, "I *was* in a GLO." When someone says that to me, I respond, "Oh? Did something happen?" I say it with a smile, and usually the person acknowledges that it should be present tense.
As for Tanya's statement -- it does behoove a collegiate chapter to stay in touch with their alumnae. The collegians may not fully appreciate that, though -- Tanya, did you only contact them? I think writing also to the Chapter Advisor would get results.
More importantly, remember that when you join a national (international) GLO you're becoming part of an organization a lot larger than the college chapter. Wherever you move you ought to find the alumnae group. Even if you are starting a career, a marriage, a family and don't have time to be a participating member, make the connection! The social fee is not prohibitive. You will be able to help a sister or be helped by a sister who's not only not from your chapter but not from your generation.
Some years ago Alpha Gam used the slogan "the beginning that never ends." That is true for all of us in NPC!

P.S. Let this thread be a lesson for all the collegians, too -- welcome alumnae, no matter what chapter and what age!
