"My Dad tells me that back in the early 60's the terminology was a little different. One spoke more of Fraternity Men and Sorority Women and less of Greeks. More of Fraternity life and less of Greek life. GDI was a general, humorous, and not unfriendly term that was often used to refer to non-Fraternity members who were friends of the house,"
Sounds like his dad is a little older than me, but I would agree with his comment. The first time I ever heard the term (I was a pledge at the time in the mid 60's) was when one of our actives said it with a big smile on his face to a mutual friend of ours, after said friend had taken a cheap shot (in fun) at something about our fraternity.
No offense was taken either way.
If the use of the word "God" offends you, use Gosh Darned.
The term GDI has been around for a long time and isn't likely to go away anytime soon.
