Well, it's different everywhere so I'll try not to use blanket statements. I think many of us are graduate members, where the dedication to the ideals has waned is in the undergraduate sector. (Hear me out before you jump down my throat)
I am actually a recent graduate. I still hang around many of my undergraduate brethren and other undergraduate greeks. I never hear, "Damn that was a great community service function yesterday. We really helped those people." I do hear, "That was a crunk @$$ party last night." or "There was too many women out there cuzz!"
I know of very few chapters that are doing GREAT in the community service department. (Auburn's Kappas have completely changed a community, The Deltas at Tuskegee are totally about their business.) For the most part, I hear people arguing over stepshows and fighting over percieved disrespect.
At the graduate level I don't see that. A lot of the younger grad members (24-40) are gung ho about going into the community and uplifted what could be considered "downtrodden humanity" but alot of the older members are simply focused on money. So, since they're older we tend to defer to them on a number of issues.
These are just my observations...Maybe it's different where you are but down here....*sigh* never mind.
