If you're going into a debate about knowledge of your country, make sure you don't get caught looking stupid yourself. I started on that can of worms since a few on here acted as though I knew very little about America herself. Do you think thats wrong? I don't. And by the way, if you have foreign friends, ask some of them what their opinion of Americans are. However, afterall, they are just opinions from other individuals.

Maybe I missed the post where someone said that you didn't know about the American culture, but I thought we were just saying that you didn't know about the U.S. GREEK culture. I'm sure since you know the greek system SOOO well you will know that there are many cultures within the culture. There are the cultures of the NPC/IFC, NPHC, Asian, Latin, Multicultural, etc. which are all TOTALLY different from each other. I know some things about the culture of other greeks besides the multicultural greeks but I definitely don't know it fully because I'm not in it. How would I be able to put down NPC and IFC greeks when I never been apart of that system??? We were upset because we thought you were talking about a system that you knew nothing about. But FINALLY you decided to tell us you joined an American fraternity (mid way through the conversation...)
Like I said, we answered your question. What else do you want us to say? Are you waiting for someone to agree with you? Most of the people on this board truly value their fraternity or sorority's purpose and that is why we are on this website. Maybe if you wanted to get a more unbiased answer to your question you should hit the greek houses on different campuses...
Side note.... Who said that I would defend the Education System of America? That would be the LAST thing I would do...
