I graduated in May 2004, but I'm a full-time graduate student at the same university. Although our national bylaws allow for graduate students to remain "active", our school's Greek Life Director won't allow it. So, I'm kinda a mix between alumni (I don't pay dues) and an active (I've attended all the meetings, philanthropies, socials, etc). Instead of dues, I tend to give my chapter donations and help pay for leadership events and other stuff. Luckily for me, most of the current brothers were initiated while I was invovled, so they all know me and enjoy my company. They're attempting to give me an Advisor title, but that hasn't been made official yet. Given all that, I think I will attempt to remain as involved as possible with my chapter and fraternity for as long as I am able. I know quite a few "Fraternal 50's" in our area and I would love to one day say that I've been in Beta for 50 years.
