I am really glad to hear that it is actually
stressed that involvment and not merely membership on paper is for life. That is good to hear. That is not the case as I have experienced it. Of course all the girls know that they are life time members, but they are not really encouraged or expected to participate actively after graduation. There are tons of sorority women where I work and none of them are active at all and they do all refer to sorority in the "I was a XYZ in college" kind of way. The people I went to school with do not have anything to do with the chapter anymore except to occasionally inquire how we did at rush. And the chapter does not invite us to anything or inform us of anything either. People usually are involved a little bit as alumna if they recently graduated, but then they drop away too.
I am not saying we don't have anything to do with each other at all after graduation. My best friends are still my sisters and we still do stuff together, but it is the 8 or 10 of us, and it has nothing to do with the sorority.
I think it's just differnet in different places, but it's good to hear it is being stressed at a collegiate level now to stay involved. That can only be a good thing!
