No, discrimination is not ok. Certainly discriminating against someone just because they're in a GLO is wrong... but sadly, a lot of people do still subscribe to the theory that all sorority members are ditzes and all fraternity members are drunken louts. Let's face it, if the interviewer is biased against greeks, s/he will find some other way to justify the decision to hire the GDI instead of the XYZ.

Let me throw this out for discussion in regards to listing your GLO affiliation on your resume. A lot of people, even a lot of greeks, think that greek life is something that's just for college. So if you list your GLO affiliation on your resume (other than for an internship or a first job out of college) it can look like you're just adding filler - even if you're actively involved on the alum level.
