It seems the mindset of the opposed chapters are of typical "freshmen" greek mentality. I'm not judging, I thought that way too once, you know, "If all the other chapters just folded, we'd rule the campus. By sophomore year you dont think this as much, and start to make a few friends outside of your house and a few in other houses. By junior year you start to see some common things with a few other houses, and make freinds from class or get on IFC/Panhel with people from other chapters and realize you have a lot in common with them, as greeks. Finally, by your senior year your really good friends with some peeps from other chapters, you know the struggles of their houses, and they know the issues your house faces. You bounce ideas off of each other and are really grateful for their friendship. You also understand that the university would never bother to have you around if there werent enough of you to justify the office of greek life.
Just sounds liek the girls who oppose it are "immature" in the bigger sphere of the greek community. We've all had our ups and downs. The problem with some of todays undergraduates is the they HAVE NO ORGANIZATIONAL MEMORY. They dont remember anythign beyond 3 years in the organization, yet carry the banner of "tradition" (which to an undergrad, means it was done once or twice before), but yet have no concept that all orgs have, at one time or another, helped each other out.
