It’s not based on the game; it’s based on real-life fraternities and sororities. I’m just explaining how it’d work if they really existed. DPC of course can make the AAAs and HOTs work however he wants.
The thing is, if that was his idea behind it, he could have anyone of the parties talking about it. Like Sage could've said "we have rules that we have to check with our Alumnis" or whatever and that would've made the whole scene at least somewhat more believable.

Sage touches on this when telling MC that Rusty lives in a bubble, way back in episode 5. Alumni and other donors help pay for the frats and sororities, on top of members paying dues.

That had a completely different context. That was about paying for the repairs, not about who can party with whom.

But you're wondering why there's traditions to follow instead of the HOTs being allowed to party with whomever they want: this is a reason why, alumni get a say because they pay for shit.
Why would alumnis even care with whom they party, especially if they really don't want to. That would be counterproductive for everybody and it is also not what is said in the scene.

Do you count as an alumni if you walk out in disgrace though? Not trolling, genuine question. (Same may welll apply to Nick of course if he doesn't come back).
Actually you're probably right. I don't know either, we don't have frats in Australia, but I'd guess if you don't graduate you probably wouldn't be almuni. :unsure:

Ah yeah, makes sense. Of course Nick probably will graduate, so I don't know where that puts him. We don't have frats here in the UK either so the whole frat situation is weird to me.

Likely pride and well, tradition. "That's how it was when we were there, so it should be how it used to be."

I mean that's pretty much it, especially for the Alphas. A lot of the alums of the Alphas & HOTs likely stayed together after graduation. Obviously not all of them, but enough to have permanent contacts for a long time.
