Why are you NOT involved in an Alumni/ae Association?

Also I need to clarify that when i said we paid alumna fees at Initiation these are alumnae fees related to the International organization to receive our magazine, and that local clubs, chapters, etc. are likely to have their own local dues for their own events and needs. These are paid separately and widely vary.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I paid my alumna fees as an undergrad too, but then AOII changed to "Life Loyal"- and the company that runs it, and somehow those fees no longer matter.

Yes, I am bitter, and I think Life Loyal is partially a scam by the company that sold it to the different GLOs.

I didn't realize it was a company and not an in house thing. I figured "Life Loyal" was making a donation and you get special perks at Convention or trinket items. I know when my life insurance was going to Alpha Gam as part of the Corinthian Society (I changed it to go to my aunt as her cancer medicine is something like $4,000 a month, ridiculous! and if I get hit by a tractor my family would want to help her out anyway) that there was a special designation as other donors have gone to a special meal at Convention and what not.

I'm somewhat torn as I like that I know I'll always receive The Quarterly even though we're going the electronic route, but I do realize we are businesses who need cash to operate. However I also believe that the money from my wealthier sisters who donate supports me and others in ways that will enable us to earn more money and we will be those bigger donors in the future.
