Not everyone who wants to join something is right for that organisation. I'd be a horrible member of IBEW, because, I know jack zippo about electricity, execpt that if you put tweezers in a socket it makes a pretty blue color. Lets explore this further.

Actually...my dad is an IBEW brother and he's not an electrician. One may join IBEW if one is employed by a company in the electrical/power business. My dad is a fleet mechanic for Duquesne Light...never touches the wires, just the cars.
Sorry for the hijack.
Incidentally, at Otterbein we usually use GDI to describe people who AREN'T greek and we wish they were. Example..."Oh man, Joe's Girlfriend is so cool, I wish she would not be a GDI anymore and join XYZ, she'd be a kick ass sister."
