How good an alumna/us are you?

[BurtWorm]

I happen to be a terrible one. I think I've given all of $50 in the 10 years since I got my degree. I never go to reunions. Never go to meetings of the alumni club in the city. And come to think of it, I haven't been getting the Alumnus magazine for a couple of years now.

My lack of loyalty to my alma mater was bred in my undergrad years there when I felt mostly alone. I guess it's not surprising how little I care about the place now.

How about you?

1. I always pledge a small donation, then

mail the check in too late and they have to call to remind me. Oops.

2. never given them a dime

Figured my tuition covered my financial obligations!

3. I dislike my alma mater for the most part.

I HAVE debated going to the local events they host every year for alumni to schmooze with the prospective freshmen from the area, to warn them off of the school. Nasty-ass money pit with very little to recommend it over any of the cromulent state schools.

4. I've set up an library endowment

for GLBT authors and books

5. xactly the same BW

I gave them a lot of money when I was going there (it wasn't really worth it).

6. I figure they have all my money anyway.

I'm angry because they refused to give me a scholarship even though I graduated #1 in my class in high school, then in college. I figure I gave them plenty already.

How's that for a bad alumnus? :)

7. I've been called for money ... but haven't given

I'm still a student at my school, only I'm a grad student now. I'm still giving them money through tuition, so I figure I'm excused from giving them donations at this time!

:hi:

8. I would be if I had money to give. n/t

9. I've donated

every year since I graduated. But then I did attend a very liberal "liberal arts" college.
