To clear things up....
I am in no way putting down service organizations, they are a wonderful contribution to our campus, and every campus they are located at.
Gammma_girl, one of the service soroirities doing this is GSS, and they almost did place in Greek Sing this past spring. They did a great job, but they were kinda in it for fun, while the rest of us were trying our hardest to get Greek Week points. So if they would of placed, they would of "wasted" those points, because they were not in Greek Week.
Fraternities were also mixing with the girls rugby team, and the dance team at my school. Sororities were off at the football house, and baseball too. IFC voted to stop this, for legal reasons and it was detracting from the Greek unity on our campus.
I just think that it detracts from the true meaning of what these orgs were founded on, and as gamma_girl says, they want their cake and eat it too. If you want the life of a social greek, you should join a social GLO, i f you can't find one that suits you on your campus, start one. Don't try to make your service GLO a social one, and complain when the social GLO's get mad about it.
