I don't personally know of any "paper" GLO's other than honor or professional societies

You know, my GLO is a member of the PFA (Professional Fraternity Assoc.). No, we
don't haze. Yet we
do go through pledging (now deemed 'new member education' at my school). As well as doing quite a lot of community service. Of course, there are social events as well.
I also know a
little bit about Lambda Chi Alpha. It doesn't bother me to be called "paper" by people who praise hazing. (Our definitions are very different from each other). But it
does bother me that a member of another non-hazing GLO would use that term. Not only am
I not "paper", but I also know that none of the new members that I had the privelage to bring in (as their Pledgetrainer {now "new member educator"}) are "paper". They worked their butts off to get those letters, and the pride that goes with them. They didn't (and do not) just pay their dues and get a certificate. If you don't consider yourself or your GLO "paper", then you cannot consider mine "paper", either.
While I'm now an alumnae, you might want to visit my former chapter's site
Phi Beta Fraternity / Phi Chapter for clarification.
