After having recently spoken with Lambda Chi alumni from various chapters, I have another perspective to throw into the mix. This involves the "old" vs. "young" debate.
I've heard from various "classic alums" that they prefer to do their own events (golf outings, picnics w/family, ballgames, etc.) with members in their own age bracket. The reasons vary, but it's pretty much along the lines of "they're so much younger, it's like being w/my kids".
Many alumni/ae have written in to say they meet @ a specific tavern each month, and this seems to attract the younger, under-30 crowd. As a 40+ alum, I have to admit that the thought of going to some pub on a Friday nite to "hang w/the bros" has lost the attractiveness it would have held in 1984.
What have other alums done to bridge this "generation gap"?
Interfraternally,
Bill F.
