I don't know about other orgs, but mine discourages very young alumnae from being too involved with the collegiate chapter. Certainly we were welcome to come down for recruitment and hold trays of punch and what-not, but being on an advisory committee while there are still women in the chapter with whom you were a collegian is a bit sticky. I definitely understand why they'd look for women further removed from college, or at least from different chapters, but it leads to a sense of "oh, we don't need you" followed by "please come back" four years later.

Also, I don't really feel like my region of the country is big into Greek life. Even as a senior in college I left it off of my resume because the odds of a hiring manager having negative stereotypes about greeks are pretty good.

Also also, I don't really know what the alumnae chapters are, outside of their support of the collegiate chapters. Social groups? Service groups? Professional networking groups? All of the above? There are several groups in the area, and I don't feel that any of them could explain that well what they offer.
