Rightly or wrongly, I can see their reasoning, because there is a difference in the level of involvement when you are an active vs. when you're alum.
You're right that GLO affiliation is often given in the South -- it certainly is in NC. As for tense, the way I often see it is:

"The groom is a graduate of the Faber College, where he was a member of Delta Tau Chi Fraternity."

or

"The groom is a graduate of the Faber College and is a member of Delta Tau Chi Fraternity."

FWIW.
