IMO. the SU alumni don't give like the alumni at other schools because of their view of their relationship to the University versus the views of the alumni of schools where the percentage of alumni giving is very high.

Generally SU alums don't view their time "on the Hill" as being the greatest, most important times of their life.

I've never met an Ivy Leaguer, who didn't manage to tell me in the first 5 minutes of any conversation where they didn't tell me overtly or subtly where they went to school. I have never been to the home of a Duke, UVA, or UNC grad where there was't some visible evidence of where the couple went to school.

These people are connected to their schools.

You'd have to do a very thorough search of our house to figure out where I went to school. And it's the same with people I know that went to most schools. They aren't really connected and when the mailers come in the mail looking for money, they are added to the pile of others looking for "support".
