You're confusing envy with jealousy. And in any case, you're wrong.
On a campus where academia is tops in the world, one should expect more out of GLOs than the superficial image pigeonholing that already plagues the rest of the greek universe. I was extremely proud of my chapter, which had models and pageant winners, as well as no-makeup girls who rose to top leadership on Wall Street and in politics.
It greatly saddened me that we had chapters on my campus that couldn't rise above the crap, and had to perpetuate the usual stereotypes (that's a slut house, that's a boring girls with boyfriends house, that's a fat house) in order to further their own cause. That did not move the ball an inch towards improving campus respect for our system. I had no envy for any chapter that had a hyperfocus on image, precisely because there was no room there for a nice personality or true sisterhood if the only concern was where she bought her clothes or how much her parents made(yeah, they called my dad and asked him where he worked, during FR).
Please try not to speak from a position of misinformation. The whole point of this thread was to applaud the innovative MIT panhellenic marketing, because it emphasized everything right about being greek, instead of everything that is wrong.
