There are drawbacks and positives to having alumni controlled houses. In the alumni controlled houses, there is more support. The sororities run a little more smoothly, there is less drama and fight for control. When we need something, we ask our alumni, and if our request is good, we usually get what we want. Their support also means greater budgets, better parties, more treats, etc. Membership selection is a toss up. We don't internally fight over which girls receive bids, that is controlled by alumni & rush committees. We can however approach our alumni (especially those who pushed for us to get bids), and give them our lists of girls we want, and they write recs & support those girls. They do their homework on girls so we know girls that receive bids are great girls. (Exceptions are chapter legacies, but that's a whole other discussion) Officer selections are usually a joke in alumni controlled houses. We say what positions we are interested in, we hold a farce of an election, the nomination committee comes in and slates girls into positions (they didn't run for and don't necessarily want), and we are forced to approve the slate or lose social functions. This is the only drawback I see in alumni controlled houses.
