Ironic, since he's a member of a D9 (NPHC) organization. He looks at it as being a "college thing --- been there, done that", which is very unusual given the thinking of (in my opinion) most D9ers...

Beyond ironic. It's sad that he feels that way. I'd rather hear someone say something akin to, "I'm very busy/going through some things/getting settled in Atlanta," than hear that it was a college thing. That means you are disregarding the "lifetime commitment" that you made to the organization and your fellow members.
I'm one of three Greeks in my family, and the other family members can appreciate that my alumnae involvement is a positive thing, which goes against what they read and hear about Greeks in the news. Other Greeks appreciate it, too, and once in a while, we get into the whole debate about being financial and supporting the national body. It's beautiful, especially when I get to see some of my sorors in their 80s still attending meetings and contributing to the sorority because Sigma always has been and will be important in their lives.
