I find this entire thread EXTREMELY insulting.

Why?
I think that people can probably articulate their reasons for admiring these GLOs. For example, I admire Kappa for their clear support to their chapters, not only keeping them open when another national organization might have closed them, but providing the support to help the same chapters become viable again. (I admire DG for the same thing, and for their commitment to "reorganizing" struggling chapters without kicking out any of the members they feel aren't pulling their own weight.) The Alphas obviously command respect for paving the way for the eventual NPHC, and from everything I know about Sigma Phi Epsilon they are constantly working with innovative programs trying to make Greek life stronger in all possible ways.
I don't think there's anything insulting about this thread. Nobody's saying they DON'T respect the GLOs that they don't name. There are plenty of other programs that I have respect for -- Delta Gamma, Kappa Sig, etc. -- that weren't mentioned in my post. It's just that the three I mentioned were the first to come to mind. I don't have to have experience dealing directly with members of their HQ to know whether or not I admire the policies they're putting forth on a national level.
