Nothing worse than someone who still lets their frat define their personality after they graduate. No one in my chapter ever gave a shit about the nationals, rituals, etc and we all made fun of that stuff so no need to feel bad if that stuff doesn’t resonate with you anymore. I enjoyed my time in my fraternity because it’s how I met some of my best friends and it gave me access to booze and girls. I’ll disagree with Dorn about completely cutting yourself off once you graduate though, unless you absolutely fucking hated the chapter. Strong alumni networks are a key part in keeping the chapter running. Come back for alumni weekend if you get the chance, ask how the place is going and if the alumni can do anything to help. Nothing too drastic but that kind of stuff is what helps shithead college kids down the road have the same fun experience that you had. Obviously don’t be the alum who still lives around town and always shows up uninvited to the house offering up criticisms and how things were much better “back in my day”. No one likes that guy.
