I donate to my undergrad faithfully. I have auto-debit take a certain amount out of my account each month; at the end of each fiscal year, I send a little bit more to a specific cause. Going to the college I did is one of the top four decisions of my life and I want to "pay it forward." I'm also a very loyal volunteer and I sit on my college's Alumni Association Board of Governors.
My graduate school, however, is a different story. While it helped me professionally, I was less than impressed with the faculty and my fellow students. I have donated exactly $25--and that was to a lecture fund in memory of one of my favorite professors. I was the only person in my class who donated.
On a completely different note, I do not donate to my sorority.
