I think the other 3 have all made clear that they worked hard to get themselves into college and worked hard to get themselves through college, paying for it on their own. I don't think it's that unusual that for students in their situation, joining and paying for a GLO wasn't their top priority and I don't take it as a positive or a negative that they weren't in a greek org. I'm not sure why that's such a "must have" in your book, there are plenty of other LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT opportunities in college, greek life doesn't own the corner on that one.
