I mean yes I loved my college, and yes I will probably give back to them and my sorority's foundation along with my own chapter, but geez the least the college alumni foundation could do was wait until we had officially graduated!!
Seriously it was bad enough having my parents get called for money, asking me to put toward some stupid senior gift, but then on the day of GRADUATION REHEARSAL, they are already bombarding us with PLEASE DONATE!
And need I mention the fact that I paid out of state tuition for four years and our campus is getting an I.M. Pei designed arts center, a new library, a new student center, a new residence hall, and a new university village. Plus for those of you who went to college in Virginia do realize the huge budget cuts that took place.
I think the icing on the cake was that when I did move home after graduation (about 3 weeks later) waiting in my mail was another letter from the alumni foundation asking for a donation.
Hmm which to pay first, student loans and credit cards, or give more money to my school???
Ok, that was my soapbox. It's not that I mind getting the soliciting (how else will they money), but at least have common sense and tact people!!
