No offense but I think you need to relax a little.

1) If you go back and look at my post, I also called myself a GDI at one point. But when I became Greek my definition of a GDI changed. And lets just note that no ones definition (if they use the term) of a "GDI" is the same.



2) I clearly made 3 separate classifications of people when it comes to peoples involvement or none in Greek Life. Greeks, Non-Greeks and "GDIs".

Going by everything that you said, I think its very clear to most people that you would have fallen under the definition of Non-Greek. As you said you didnt bash, you just had no interest in Greek Life at the time.



3) I am a bit confused as to how I sounded elitest when I made that statement. So let me just clarify by giving an example. "GDIs" would be these....
The V's- How are they ignorant? I think the other Chi-O's on this board could answer that question for you. Spreading vicious rumors (a website) about an organization that they know nothing about, and not even willing to take the time to find out. Making trouble for greeks overall on this board. I dont know about anyone else, but I consider that IGNORANT, and I am sure some ladies on this board would have a much harsher word than that for them.
My close friend's Ex-Fiance- This is man who told my friend that if she ever joined a sorority he wouldn't talk to her and would dump her. Knowing that myself an another one of our close friend's are both in sororities, would tell us how he felt we were wasting our time and buying our friends and thought Greeks were snobs, etc, the list goes on. Even after explaining to him that we all dont haze and how much time we put into our charities etc. He wouldnt listen, he was being IGNORANT. I think most ppl would agree with this.

Those are Anti-Greeks, which I consider "GDIs" Poeple who have only negative things to say about Greek life and dont know what its about. They try to force the opinion that being Greek is bad and want to argue about it. I am not being elitest when I use this term to say that these people were/are ignorant, because they are in their ACTIONS.

I am sorry if you were offended, but I think you read my post the wrong way.

Did anyone get what I was trying to say though?

We got what you are trying to say but I always thought that GDI's are people that have nothing to do with greek life. Seeing it used here, means to me...only greeks use it. Why would I label myself a GDI when I have nothing to do with greek life as it is? I am just an average joe, and very happy with that.
