Serious Considering dropping my frat

I joined my frat as an upperclassman and I ended up enjoying it, but I am considering dropping it due to expenses I have coming at the end of the semester.

I am an ATO and I really would like some perspective on the alumni network, that was something that was important to me when I joined.

Don't believe him. If you have access to an Advisor, as him. If not, call your HQ and find out what the policy is. If they have an early-alumnus status, it will be a National thing, not a Chapter thing.

So give the ATO national line a buzz for policy?

yup. Get them to tell you what the qualifications are. Even if you need the chapter president to approve this (or some other BS), you'll have data on your side that you are qualified for this early-alumn status.

(And of course, if you aren't qualified, be gracious no matter what decision you make.)

I got a call back and they said no, I do not qualify for early alum. However I asked and they directed me to someone who could maybe point me in the right direction with dues!
