With this particular Greek community and University I can tell you that this is "the norm" for many who have ties or involvement in both the Greek and non-Greek communities.. From the minute we stepped onto campus, throughout the recruitment process and even now as we are winding down the stretch we have found everyone to be kind, caring and all willing to go over and above to help in anyway. As a parent rep for this University I can tell you that we all try very hard to pay it forward.
One more example...while attending Orientation we happened to run into a professor who was washing his car in front of a dorm (at this particular school some professors "live in"). We were a teeny bit lost and he offered to help (map reading not my bes skill)..by the end of the conversation he had given my daughter his cell # and private email. We sent a thank you and he emailed her the first week of school to check in and has subsequently checked in each semester since.
While this may not be the "norm" or "expectation" I have found while traveling and speaking for this University that is you are open and genuine to others they will reciprocate.
My message is to reach out to the alum groups...be open and genuine and you might be surprised how helpful they can/will be! It's worth a shot, especially at a school that has a very competitive recruitment.
