We had a local at Umass, Alpha Tau Gamma. It originally started as a farming fraternity when Umass was Mass. Agricultural. To this day they are almost exclusively from the Stockbridge School, a part of Umass focused on farming, etc. Great bunch of guys. Their alumni own almost all of the fraternity houses on frat row and a few others across campus. Their alumni are concentrated mostly in the New England area so they are never too far from Umass. Even being a local, they probably have the strongest alumni support out of any fraternity at Umass. The alumni do everything from financial management, putting on additions to maintaining the house. We also have a local sorority, Iotta Gamma Upsilon, with amazing alumni support.
I actually think that ATG has great closeness outside of Umass and after graduation. However I think that is because it is a fraternity based on a specific major, allowing alumni to help the new graduates in the working world.
