From a recruitment standpoint, as a wise woman on GC once said about Pref night, sororities are trying to find the right mix of messages that will 'speak' to the pnms through recruitment. Unfortunately, I would say the vast majority of 18-19 year old PNMs going through recruitment are not thinking about the lifetime involvement in the sorority (in fact, if you look at alumnae involvement across NPC sororities, I'm not sure that it is that important to most alumnae - but that is another topic for another thread), but rather how will joining any of these sororities help me through my college career (socially, academically, emotionally, etc). Making a big deal about lifetime involvement could be perceived as strange during recruitment and a turn-off to many PNMs, but should be a focus throughout the new member and member education program.
I will say that now that most sororities are moving towards a "values-based" recruitment, I think that lifetime involvement will have more of (and I would say should have) a place in the recruitment process.
Poor Hootyhoo, all she wanted to know was ways to help create sisterhood and manage large chapter and pledge class size. Hooty - I hope that you have gotten some answers!
