<p>Well, how very noble of you. :)</p>
<p>i believe alumni pay class dues to get the magazine, pay for a 25th anniversary issue etc. sigh, i hope i can get in</p>
<p>just a side note about legacies: colleges <em>are</em>interested in legacies because they and their families are more likely to donate money down the line, but that's not the sole reason. Legacies generally graduate at higher rates than the overall student body (because they know the campus culture and expectations), and they're more likely to be involved as volunteers (interviewers, local chapter members, etc.) even if they aren't in a position to be major donors.</p>
