Okay - knowing Tanner personaly I sent him a note - but after this statement
I'll respond here too.
I was a $$ poor college student who worked to be able to afford extras,
parents helped with books - but frat stuff had to be paid for by me. While I
can't speak for my husband, and I am sure he'll reply I know his parents
where a little more supportive finacially when it came confrences. (His Dad
and sister are both brothers too)
However saying alumni are better off to afford things is not necessarily the
case. We now have other responsibilties, including 2 children, in a not so
friendly job market where we are living.
