deep thinking

I often try to figure out what thought process might be behind things like anti-greek opinion. I wonder if in a few cases it has to do with a fear of rejection. They may subconsciously want to have the friendship and activity they see greeks having, but are afraid that they won't be selected for membership. Therefore, they try and rationalize that fear in their heads by saying "Oh, you're just buying your friends" or "What a bunch of rich snobs." Does that make sense?

This also goes along with the bitterness exhibited by people who rushed, but didn't get a bid. Again, trying to make themselves feel better by saying that "it's all dumb anyway."
