What Rudey said is true to a point but a very good one!
Alums are the "Old Ones" no matter per se when they graduated.
But the factor of trying to meld, weld and work together is the main and hardest factor.
Alums are there to assist and abet the Local Chapter. Many times We as Alums are more over bearing than is neccessary but all in all, We are trying to do for the Chapter.
I was talking to a Brother from a different chapter last night and damn are they having problems. Not with the Active Chapter so much as having an Alum Assoc. and now a House Corporation trying to tell the Actives How To Do Things. They dont own a house, so the Housing Corp. for a better word is a moot point until:
1. they buy land.
2. They build or rent a house.
The fine line is when we and the Active Chapter find that find line of working together. But The Alums or those working hard and the Actives who change Officerships yearly can get a happy medium. Can anyone tell me where that is?
