"Greek Spirit" is tangible.

Greekchatters who I have never laid eyes on were there in such a big way, we truly are a community.
GLO's bring out the most in human behavior...the highest of ideals and sadly, the lowest of debasements. Our goal is to work together as a group to strengthen the highs and work to eliminate the lows. Together we GROW and together we fail, in the court of public relations.
There is a great community of people wanting to be part of this understanding of a bond of greek spirit. Sharing it with them is a special act of friendship and love, no matter how we meet them (formal recruitment, continuous open bidding, intake, AI, etc)

Both of these are SO true! I've found some of the most spectacular people to see me through a difficult problem, and witnessed some of the nastiest debacles, it's been a wild ride. I'm also amazed by the number of people who will lie about someone for their own agendas.
And I've found that I've had misconceptions about some GLOs (male and female), that ones I never really cared about before have some of the nicest people here on GreekChat. There's definitely good and not-so-good in every GLO!
