SO WHAT?

Just because 3/4 Pres/VP candidates aren't greek does not mean GLO's are doing a crappy job of churning out leaders. People have other avenues of LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. It's not like GLO's are the end-all, be-all of leaders. There are plenty of leaders in the world in different areas that chose not to go Greek. There's nothing wrong with that.

On the same note, being a ABC fraternity/sorority member doesn't automatically mean you will be a leader. There are many members who go on to living normal, Average Joe lives and others who become extraordinary people in their respective fields. Maybe it was because of something they learned while being a ABC member or maybe it was just something they already had in them.

Even if this Sarah lady was my own sorority sister, that doesn't mean jack. It just means she happened to join the same sorority as me. I don't care whether or not someone is Greek when I am consdering how I am going to vote, so why again does this matter?
