Ah, the sweet irony of belonging to a fraternity which had to disband because of the glue that apparently held it together - hazing. It just goes to show - if you build your GLO on a creed to which you and your brothers/sisters aspire, you build it on something solid and lasting. If you build it on merely overcoming artifical "obstacles" and Survivior-type challenges, you don't build anything which will last.
I "earn" my letters everyday by the way I live my life. My sisters have bonded with me through real-life ups and downs - not through an artifical construct that demeans or degrades. What is important to my GLO is not the ability to do push-ups until you vomit - but in developing as women of character who impact our communities, both collegiate and otherwise, through our contributions to them.
Referring to other GLOs as "t-shirt clubs" just goes to show that you don't get it. I'm happy to hear that your GLO is no more, as it was apparently the type that gives the rest of us a bad name.
