People like who?
I believe ree-Xi is a member of Alpha Xi Delta. Please enlighten us on how this group's founders suffered from founderitis in 1893.

Your answer shows very little knowledge of the origins of the fraternal movement.
The case of the OP is not the same, and though her cause is worthy, it devalues the fraternal experience by making everything and anything worthy of a fraternity or sorority.
