Low C, I can imagine other groups in general would pose a competition to GLOs for members - they do at all schools to a degree but it made me wonder if it was harder at schools such as these... but I'm glad to hear that membership is strong despite that. You've gotta be pretty organized to form and control an off-campus Panhel and IFC, etc. Props to Princeton (and others who do this)!
I don't understand why this is "weird" to you -- it's different and unique. They are sort of our "cousins" in the fraternal sense. I'm sure those GC members who are eating club alums don't appreciate your assessment of their organizations.
