Amen to that! Also, I would agree with all those who said that dating a boy who calls you names isn't too cool.
My fiance went to a college (and now works there) that doesn't have GLOs. While we were at dinner one night, he asked me why I was so gung ho about my sorority. I thought a moment or two, then told him:
1) I made a lifelong commitment. Making that commitment made me better prepared for *other* lifelong commitments.
2) I learned how to balance my time, schoolwork, and need to be involved in charity work in one fell swoop.
3) My sisters have been there for me much more so than anyone else I can name (I think I told him that best friends will be angry at someone who hurts you bad, but sorority sisters will help you hide the body!)
4) I believe in my sorority's Creed - every word of it.
5) My sorority has a lifelong foundation for the support of not just college women, but for any sister who is in need.
etc, etc.
Being able to come up with that list so quickly was good for MY soul, and helped him better understand when I need to "go play sorority girl".
Knowledge = Power. Always.
