Why do some adults still participate in fraternity events?

Why do you care?

We pay so much for our friends why not try to milk the investment?

If they are involved as an adviser or something similar then yes, they not only attend events, but have weekly meetings and other duties. For large events, many will go help.

Many participate on alumni boards (most nationals require them) and those usually in 30s or later get invited to events because they help financially (have money by that point) and now have free time to help out (usually kids are older).

There were several guys like this when I was in a fraternity. We all assumed they were gay. So I can only assume your friends are figs.

You're in a fraternity for life. Not all members stay involved after graduation, but many do. Just like LSU has Alumni Associations all over the country, my fraternity has Alumni Chapters.

because they like the gay sex still? nothing wrong with that.

I think you're confusing a fraternity event with an Aggie yell leader reunion

Believe it or not frats are a good way to make friends

I know very little about the frat life but can I throw out the suggestion that they do it to meet college age pussy?

Look, it's not like I'm wearing my membership pin on a daily basis or showing up on campus and lecturing the undergrads on the subtle nuances of ritual. I was merely making an observation that your "fraternity life" doesn't necessarily have to end at graduation. For some guys, it does. For others, it doesn't.

Our local alumni chapter meetings are once a month and largely an excuse to get together for dinner and have a couple of beers. Some business is conducted, but it's mostly social. I'm not particularly active. I probably make one or two alumni meeting a year and show up for the annual crawfish boil. But if I were ever in some type of financial jam, had medical problems in the family, needed a job, a favor or whatever; I have fraternity brothers who would help me. I graduated almost 30 years ago. I've been able to help out a few people over the years, and I know, given the opportunity, they'd do the same for me.
