Because it's not just about us. I'm running for IFC recruitment vp, because I'm worried that as a system we're not strong enough. When SAM's house got condemned, I was there the next day helping them fix the problems. Just because my chapter is OK doesn't mean I shouldn't help everyone else- if everyone watched out for each other, problems wouldn't grow out of hand.
If my house is perfect and everyone else is terrible, then my house isn't perfect, because we obviously aren't helping our fellow Greeks. My house isn't anywhere near perfect, but it doesn't mean I'm going to ignore all the things that go on around me until we are. Hazing in other organizations, Greek or not, shames us all.
