OTOH...there is a place for younger alums away from the chapter....
While I would never say "never" to a young alumnus being involved in the chapter, I think there is merit in the advice I give to my graduating seniors--Stay connected to the chapter, but be involved in another chapter for the next 5 years.
If you want to be on the alumni advisory board, do it at another chapter.
If you want to be on the house corporation, do it at another chapter.
If you want to have a cold refreshment with an undergrad, do it at another chapter.
Why? Because the guys (in our case) you are leaving behind need a chance to spread their wings and do things without your "help." If you do not move on, then they cannot move out.
Just a thought...
