Some pretty much become wut I like to call "fraternal clones" and they've pretty much drained almost all their personality off of their org. That seems to have turned a few ppl off. Also, it's been A LOT of drama b/w organizations. The AKA's and Deltas have gotten in a fight, and the Alphas have gotten in almost 3 fights this semester. ALSO, the AKA's came under fire for hazing, and some of my friends that wanted to pledge AKA were turned off by that and they're not even goin greek now. I mean, I'm still interested in pledging, but my biggest fear is gettin sucked into the mess of rival greek orgs. But it's just a lot of factors voting against the future of BGLOs. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of them didn't make it to a 2nd centennial.

This statement really makes me think that basically you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. People will criticize you if you haze and then they would criticize you if you don't and they will can you paper. If you only do the required amount of community service, people will say you should do more. If you do tons of community service, people will say they don't want to join because greeks will take away their time from studying. People will always find a reason to be turned off with greek life no matter what you do. I just think greeks in general should just make sure they live up to the principles of their organization and not to listen to what others will say. If you all think you are doing your best and your national officers are pleased with you, that is all that matters.
