The gossip site has some very bitter and even aggressively ignorant or mean people posting things that are often untrue. Some of them are driven by allegiances that are worse than the Saints-Falcons rivalry. Everyone posting on that God-less place has an agenda and it is most often not driven by a Panhellenic attitude or goal. In fact, I believe it is more often driven by the things that non-Greeks would say are the proof which means there should not be a Greek Letter Organizations anymore.

On the other hand, GreekChat members care very deeply about the Fraternity/Sorority System, and want to keep the focus on the honorable goals and purposes, so as to make the System worthy of preservation. In spite of our allegiances we have an extremely vested interest in accurate information being available and in the health of the System. If we, the Greek Community, become something to be despised, then how long before the GLOs will disappear? We are only as good as the last good thing we did and the last bad thing we avoided out of care and wisdom. True for people, and true for the organizations to which we belong. And as trite as the saying has become, "We are always wearing our letters" (even when posting anonymously.)

Be the change you want to see.
