I am an alumna of a Service sorority. Does that make what social sororities do any less worthy or important? No. Does that make me a socially inept person without the ability to connect, relax, and "have fun"? No.
What matters is that people come together with mutual ideals and beliefs. There are immature, greedy, narcissistic people in every microcosm in every country, every contentinent of this earth.
The bottom line is - Without recruitment, there would be no Greek system. Without Risk management policies, there would be no protection, order or guidelines.
Does your employer have health insurance, liability coverage, and performance policies to protect employees and customers? Do they advertise to hire new employees to run the very businesses that are essential to living life as we know it?
If you choose to not pursue Greek life, then do not pursue it. Are there problems? Of course. Individuals in any group, organization, company, community, or country exist as parts of a bigger whole. Somtimes, people make stupid decisions. The parts do not equal the whole. Processes break down, conflicts arise, and honey, the world is not a perfect place.
If you do not understand something, why not ask questions, instead of making sweeping gerenalizations? It really isn't any of your business what people in any orgnaization chooses to do. Your perceptions from outside looking in are just that - your observations. At the very least, respect others and their freedomes to live their lives. If it doesn't infringe on your liberties, then let them live.
