I agree completely.
Few people understand how important the fact that our houses are still around is to our alumni.
You owe it to the alumni to be responsible in your chapter. If you are saying why should I care because I haven' t seen the alumni do anything for my chapter lately, ask yourself what have you done to get your alumni interested in your chapter. Recently, our chapter has been trying to get in contact with our alumni, the way its supposed to be. I have heard so many positive stories come from our alumni, believe it or not they have a lot of information to share with your chapter. Not only that but think about what is going through a pledges mind when me meets an alumni who comes back and tells him about what sigma nu means to him.
