I think the issue behind Carnation's original question, four year commitment, is the issue of members remaining active for all their possible years.
If a member pledged as a sophomore, and was active all three years, then the commitment was there. The GLO got 3 out of 3 possible years. (100%) The same may be said for the member who graduates in three years and was active all three. Again, 3 out of 3 for 100%. You might even say that a member who transfers gave 2 out of 2 possible years for again 100% commitment. And if a transfered member is able to, and does, affiliate with the chapter at their new school, are they not keeping their four year commitment to the GLO?
The issue seems to really be, "Why isn't there better senior, or upperclassmen, retention"?
And if there is a significant number of pledges who either end up de-pledging or being expelled due to standard issues, then perhaps the GLO needs to address their recruitment process.
