i've been wanting to say this for some time now...
it seems apparent to me that many of these non-greeks or high-schoolers have this inate sense that greek like if all about parties, hazing, popularity, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. i was quite disturbed by jilla82's post. IMHO, the primary reason he's questioning greek life is the hazing aspect. jilla, GPA's are the most important. and if you want to join a BGLO, do your research. find out what PHILANTHROPIES, ALUMNI, SERVICES and HISTRIES appeal to you most. hazing should be the last thing on your mind.
the education regarding the greek system is so ignorant of any real validity, it seems. jilla, greek life is not all about parties and hazing. sorry to extract you from that dream of yours. greek life is a lifelong commitment to yourself, your brothers/sisters, your greek heritage and you academic and professional achievement. if hazing if your primary motivation for going greek, you're going at it for all the wrong reasons.
