I think a reason why some say "I was an ABC" is because of minimal exposure to alumnae/i during their collegiate days. If a chapter doesn't have alot of advisors that are truly involved as advisors (rather than in title only) and/or alumnae/i who visit the chapter, come to events, etc. then how can a collegian understand that you are an ABC for life?
I love being invited back by my chapter to tell the story of why our chapter was founded (I'm a charter member) or share how a current tradition was originally started. We keep growing advisors out of the graduating seniors and it's because the current advisors work with the chapter so well and the collegians can see a way to impact the future of the chapter or another chapter after college! The advisors even hold BBQ's for the chapter to celebrate a special moment in the chapter (like taking quota, welcome back to school, etc).
