I'm only giving a response to this part, because I believe Opie gave perfect answers to the rest of it...
You say that you think fraternities and sororities are becoming "
more of cliques " than of organizations, but I think that fraternities and sororities are becoming
less of cliques by having unity within Panhellenic, IFC, NPHC, etc. I believe this is especially true with Panhellenic sororities! Just look at how women from all 26 chapters support one another and PNMs on Greekchat! Look at how women from ABC sorority live with, party with, and adore women from XYZ sorority! True, we may form cliques based upon our own sisterhood, and there may be cliques between women within the sisterhood, but that's life- we're women, we're petty, and we cling to other women who are just like ourselves. It's the same for fraternity men! Example: my best friend is an alumna of Kappa Kappa Gamma... I went out with one of my chapter's alums, and three Kappas last night... I go out to parties all the time with Alpha Chi's, Sigma Kappas, etc... and I know this is true for just about anyone out there!
Ok, I understand that I'm getting a little worked up over this, but I'm venting right now... people are always so appalled when they (first of all, know NOTHING about the Greek system) see me hanging out with a friend, and she's wearing letters that don't match mine... ugh, it bugs me so much!
Anyways... so there's another perspective...
