I'm really sorry that you only joined your greek organization to hook up with girls. Since that was the case, I wouldn't find it hard to understand why your greek experience was unfulfilling.


I guess I could put it like this, being in the u.s. is like being in many different countries. People throughout different parts of the u.s. act and think differently from each other. For example, you have the whole "southern hospitality" and the "western train of thought" differences. People in the u.s. are different in the same way Frenchmen, Englishmen, Swedes and Germans differ from each other. People in different parts of the u.s eat different types of food, as it is in Europe. What is acceptable in one corner of the u.s. may not be acceptable in the other corner. With that said, it is impossible to say that people in Amerikan greek systems should all be joining for the same apparent reasons. With that understanding, would it be irrational to assume that while one person is joing for reason A. and another is joining for reason B., either is in the wrong for their reasons as to why they should have joined such an organization? I think not.
