Conservative does not necessarily equal negative. Also, I think that most folks assoiciate greek life with a degree of conformity (whether that is true or not), and the notion that one has to conform to be a member overrides the other positives that might be associated with greek life.

Also, conservative is relative. In the black community, NPHC organizations are often considered conservative because of some of the values they espouse. However, when considered in relation to other GLOs, NPHC organizations might be considered down-right radical.

As my grandfather used to say "It's all relative."
