Wolfman, it all varies from organization to organization. We have alumni chapters linked to individual chapters and local area alumni orgs.
The NPHC grad chapter is different IMO from an NIC/NPC one in its function probably...

For NPC/NIC fraternities (excluding KA Psi and Iota Phi Theta which are also members of the NIC), when the term alumni/ae chapter is mentioned, are they referring to alumni associations of undergraduate chapters or chapters of alumni/ae members of a given group in a given locale? And as "chapters" are they fully functional like undergraduate chapters,i.e., they carry out social action programs, have scholarship fundraiser dances, have the ability to vote at conventions, etc.?
I ask this because for NPHC groups a "graduate chapter" denotes something that may or may not have the same referrent in groups in the other councils in general.
I'm active with my graduate chapter of Omega Psi Phi (chapter officer and committe chair). We have annual dues on three levels:national,district and local. D-0 groups tend to be more dues-driven, and less emphasis on endowments.
