I figured you were referring to the more mainstream GLO culture. :)

:)

And even with facebook, flyers are still the way-to-go for many college-aged and grown folks parties when there's a venue for mass distribution.

ETA: Because facebook sucks so not everyone has a page and those who have a page don't necessarily check their invites and events regularly.

What the hell? That's lame. So what do the Greeks get out of it? Will they even be at the event?

Would you care so much if you were deemed worthy of an invitation?

You should do what other people who are overlooked often do, found your own GLO. :) Good luck.

Cheer up. You might get lucky and invited to a dog party.

Is that true that they select certain people or do they really give it to random people?

Yes! So what? And? :confused:

Welp, he's interested in your mental and emotional health. He'd sooooooo hand you a flyer. :)

RE: the original question "Are Greeks biased in who they invite to parties/events? "

Yes and particularly where there are also a lot of fraternities and sororities, one GLO might socialize predominantly with a few others (like 4 or 5) and vice versa.

Are you going to start a new thread if you aren't invited to sit at the grown-ups table this thanksgiving?
