I agree. You slap some Greek letters on something and call it a GLO? Seems kind of useless. Our Greek letters MEAN something, and our organizations have grown from just a few men and women to thousands upon thousands of members, for 100+ years in some cases. We have traditions and rituals that have been passed down all of those years, and we all live by a set of values shared by all of our brothers and sisters.

But you have a dance club at your high school that you just happen to call Delta Alpha Nu? Or a debate team that you've named Sigma Tau Phi Upsilon?

What's the reasoning? Because all of the cool college kids are doing it?
