OK -
well, it's ignorant and uninformed to make generalizations about an entire GLO based on the behavior of a certain chapter/chapters, but there's another side to the story . . .
Problems CAN become 'national' based upon the level of control/involvement of the national organization. It depends, org to org, just how problems are dealt with, how they're reported, and what standards are upheld nationally. So, it's conceivable that problems could get out of hand on a more widespread basis due to lack of a broader structure or whatever. Think about it: if one area president (or whatever) allows the 25 or 50 or however many chapters under him to 'slide' on disciplinary issues and rush badly and deal drugs and beat up foreign students etc, well then that becomes institutional. I just doubt that any large national org would really allow that . . .
