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.

See, I'm the other way around.
My last tuition payment to my State U. a decade ago was the last time they received a penny from me. I was forced to attend State U. because it was the only one we could afford at that time. It wasn't a terrible school. It just didn't have a profound impact on my life the way some of yours did. I attend athletic events and proudly sport their gear and that's about it.
I regularly make donations to my high school alma mater and Alpha Gamma Delta because they really changed my life. When the collegians from my chapter have philanthropy events I also don't mind donating case of water or some snacks here and there. It's not much, and whenever I get the SOS email I don't hesitate at all.
