It's always surprised me, too, that the leaders of my chapter never got involved as alumnae, not even the chapter president when I was a pledge (and later instrumental in restarting the Panhellenic Association on campus), who just embodied KD to me back then.
On the other hand, a woman who joined as a second-semester sophomore (not that unusual on our campus) and thus had few opportunities for the big positions has been a terrific leader at an alumnae group, one that's supported a couple of our newer chapters. I wonder if you get more mileage from the tortoises than the hares.
