If they are not trying to fit in, then why the hell would you use greek lettering? Your sentence structure is poor and therefore, it is difficult to understand what you are trying to say. Why would one wish to not assimilate into American culture, if one is to live and work here? Assimilating does not mean losing one's religion or morals, mind you.

I don't see your signature line showing your affiliation to a fraternity but I'll go ahead and assume you went to college. With that said, that means you should know how to use deductive reasoning also called critical thinking.
Many assume that Greek letters equal caucasian christian male but that is far from the truth. Greek letters are used because it is in the Colleges and Universities where individuals start to rationalize and begin to critically think. Prior to college students were only getting the basics. That means all they were learning was how to function in this world.
It is in College that they begin to apply thought. (if you are confused let me know, otherwise I'll keep going) Plato, Socrates, Pythagoreas and most of all of our great minds came out of the Greek era. So when a fraternal organization comes together (usually in college) they apply the greek letters to show that they too are pursuing academic excellence, growth and critical thought. In fact most fraternities and sororities are created to help facilitate the learning environment of students and encourage them to complete their degrees. The whole University system is based from Greek culture, so do you believe I should not attend college as well?
I don't believe any new sorority is trying to fit in, moreso they are trying to have something for themselves without disrupting or causing confusion with the already existing organizations. It's better that they go off on their own than to sit in your organization causing you grief and poorly representing you. (If you cannot agree with that statement then why are we talking)
It is not my objective to confuse you or to write where you cannot understand me. However, since you are the first in this board to use derogatory words, then its safe to assume that you don't understand me because your vocabulary is limited. So in this regard, what more can one expect.
