Well, to be honest, I tend to use the same kind of past tense when I talk to people who aren't presently involved, especially if the group contains people who were never Greek, who probably do think that GLO are only for people in college.

I think it's actually probably more typical to use past tense than to use present tense when you are an alum, even though you know it's a lifelong membership.

It's more about your audience that it is about your feelings. You don't want them to think you're holding on to your college years too tightly.
