I've been unhappy with some of our expansion decisions - I would wager members of EVERY group have.
But that's for me to take up with the people in charge of my org. I'm certainly not going to question what anyone else does in the way that Erik is doing. I mean, I could care less what TKE does, but for him to go off on unhoused, "street car college" chapters and act like it's everyone else who is causing the downfall of the Greek system when HIS OWN ORGANIZATION does the same thing is a little silly.
If the new "outfits" as they are called are as useless as Erik believes they are, they will die out or evolve into something else.

Erik's just a classic GLO elitist. Should Greek Life only be available to individuals in Ivy League, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, PAC-10 and Big East schools? I'm thinking no.
Being Greek was a hell of an experience for me at my regional-state-former-teachers-college-university. I would expect that the kids in smaller regional schools with 1-2 chapters are having a great experience as well. No one has chapters at Devry. No one has chapters at Junior Colleges (with maybe a handful of exceptions). I'm not sure what a "streetcar college" is, and if it's a college that opens up a regional branch in a shopping center, I seriously doubt they have rush events going on for the incoming 45 year old secretaries wanting to be court reporters.
But yeah -- considering where and how Erik's own organization has expanded, and where, I find such opinions to be almost funny coming from him.
-- Erik, we appreciate what you have done, but times have changed.
