I'm personally impressed that have the balls (pardon) to think they can institute this kind of mandate!!!!

This is one of the things that bothers me the most....
I see no reason why the universities should have any say in a GLO's new member program! As far as I am concerned, this should be completely up to the EO of that org. I understand hazing rules and regulations, but the actual programs that new members go through should not be made up by the university.
I can understand the university maybe making all greek new members go through some kind of orientation about greek life in general... Maybe what the greek system means to the university, and programs about scholastics, and the dangers of binge drinking and hazing and all that. But, the majority of new member education REALLY should be done by the chapter in the way that their nationals' sees fit.
I also think that if they are making these kinds of mandates for greek life, are they also doing such things for OTHER orgs on campus? There are alot of student organizations on campuses, and I don't see how it is right to impose regulations on one area if you're not going to include other areas. What about greek letter orgs that are not mainly social? Is an org like APO (technically a service org if I'm not mistaken) subject to this scrutiny as well?
Sorry if this post doesn't make much sense... it is just a little upsetting to me.
Oh, and I also think that "asskissery" is about the best word I've heard in awhile.
