I'm one. I've been out almost two years and there are two main reasons I'm not involved. The first is that I'm still in school (finishing my second bachelors, then grad school) at the same school were I was an active, and the closest alum group is for the most part from this same chapter...and I actually WANT to branch out. There are a lot of girls in that group that I really like, but I'd prefer to connect with them separately because there are also many that I butted heads with furiously as an active and it's just not worth it to continue that as an alum. I'm sure down the road we'll all laugh about it, but I don't think we'll get along that well at this point. The second is burnout. I wouldn't call myself super involved because I basically showed up for only required events my senior year since I was taking all studios but before that I was pretty involved. I'd like a break where I'm not HERE so I can get away from all the drama and politics I hear about (my roomie is an active) and such before getting involved as an alum. I plan on joining a group once I leave this particular town, which will probably be in about two years. Until then I pay dues and help my old chapter with recruitment. I DO plan on being an active alumna of my organization down the road because I am very much invested in both my chapter and the international organization...just not yet.
