One of our new members pledged Phi Sig before recruitment. After she went Greek, her Big Bro sat her down with a bunch of officers and basically said "You really should quit Phi Sig now because we don't initiate people who are Greek because they don't participate in events."

It's ironic because while they don't like Greeks, they have big/little and other things that are reminiscent of Greek traditions.



That was exactly what I was talking about. The one I know of when so far as to try to put it in their by-laws that joining a social GLO was not allowed. That didn't pass but there is a very large anti-greek sentiment and all the "social" greeks feel it
