I don't think you should make the assumption that I don't want to learn just because I said that I didn't think this was the place to solve the world's problems. After all my posts, I don't see how you can even justify that. If we were discussing how racism was afecting our greek orginizations, then I would be all for it, but right now that is not the case.
A man named Fred came in this network about 2 months ago and started talking about religion. He started a lot of chaos and nothing came out of it except a lot of fighting. He was eventually banned from the site. All it took was one person coming here and starting a bunch of s*it. All it would take is for one person to come in here and say the wrong thing about this topic and we would be back in the same place.
I do not come here for a "social outlet" and I do not see that from anyone else. I come here because I believe that I can offer a lot of help, information, and insight into issues involving the greek system. If you had read any of my other posts in any other forum, you would have realized this.
It has been gereralized that GLO's only exist for partying. Well, that IS JUST a generalization. We do not exist for parties, and our No. 1 priority IS community service. We do have parties, but that is not why we are here. Nobody seems to recognize the good things that GLO's do. My old school for example: If it wasn't for the greek system there would be no homecoming, no intermural activities, no athletic support, no real student government--because nobody cares but the greeks--and we are the ones who run it. These are just a few examples of the things we do on campus. We also focus on community service and national philanthropies. If we existed just for parties, I don't think that our organizations would be over 100 (some) years old. We would have died out a long time ago.
If you want to discuss this topic, that is fine. I see it being more constructive to this site if it is related to the greek system. That is why we are here, to discuss greek life and the issues that concern it. Racism is a serious issue for today's society, but in this forum it has no place unless we are discussing how it relates to our greek system.
