Gphi2k, you make some very valid points that I think few of us want to admit to. The Greek system as a whole IS elistist. We all strive to pick new members who will fit in with our org. as a whole, but there are many, many, many, people who have horrible experiences with rush. And this will taint the perception of Greeks for many of them. Who amongst us hasn't, at one point in life, been rejected by someone or something that we wanted badly? It takes a big person indeed to not feel slighted and somewhat bitter over that. To not always wish you could've been a part of it. Well, those people have voices, and many of them are in the media. Its my opinion, and only my opinion, but we are, as Greeks and future Greeks here on this boars, our own elitist society--though we strive to be fair and democratic, our goals are not always apparent to those on the outside, and do fuel the fire for the negative image of greeks in our way too PC society.
