To make a long story short: is it easier to convince someone who is interested in Greek life that it's a positive thing than to convince someone who is totally against it?

Good question. I honestly believe you can't make ANYONE understand something they simply don't want to! Some people opposed to Greek-life may never understand, no matter how much you try. It's basically them not wanting to understand. Sure I can be Greek, as well as, be a member of groups such as NSBE, NABA, or the NAACP. So why NOT be Greek! It's just another means of serving. And such as Knowledge1922 stated, being part of a Greek-lettered organization is not only something you are a part of, but a part of who you are! Not meaning that the organization makes you, because I am a firm believer that the person makes the organization. However, everywhere you go, especially as an undergrad people don't say that's a member of NABA, rather she's a ___ or he's a ___. It's an social assosiation to a civic organization. Only those open to understanding Greekdom understand.
