MandingoNupe (isn't that name an oxymoron?, just joking): Before MIP, everyone knew that Omegas pledged the hardest (but it is relative for each org). But that is immaterial. It was never at the level of paper vs real like now. BTW, I have been active in trying to reform our intake process and thankfully, as a result of our last Conclave, a change is a coming. Hallelujah!!!
MONI 93: this may come as a shock to you, but alot of people who pledge undergrad do not pledge to be active in an alumni chapter. Some people like their undergrad chapter, some people like the undergrad lifestyle, some people like the bonding, some people do their community service elsewhere, some still affiliate with their org outside of chapter meetings, some do not like the politics of the alumni chapter, some do not like the lack of fraternal spirit on the grad level (strictly business). Some don't like having to work or abide paper members. Most importantly, others have lifestyle, family, or financial coommittments that preclude them from being as active as they would like. Whatever the reason for inactivity, one should ALWAYS remain FINANCIAL, represent their org well, and maintain their love and respect for the precepts of their letters.
