AS an Alumna of the fraternity I will say this. If I had the $$ to give to
the fraternity right now I would. WE (my husband - who is also a brother)
and I just don't have the extra cash right now. We have 2 small kids and
bills to pay - we support how we can...by going to conventions = when we can
- even taking the kids to some.

PS my husband can throw his own 2 cents onto the list if he wants. so that
no one will say I am speaking for both of us.
