GLO's were originally created to better the lives of their members through debate, lecture, and the creeds we all try so hard to live up to. Now, while we've come a little ways from that (I can't imagine Thomas Jefferson and his buddies at Homecoming or Greek Week) we still have a responsibility to be that "positive peer pressure." We're all brothers and sisters. It's a closer bond than mere friendship or hallmates. If fraternities and sororities can't act as uplifting or inspiring vessels for change in a person's life, then what are we here for? I mean, parties, sure, but what are we REALLY here for?
It doesn't matter what a person was before. What matters is who they are when they put on that jersey, and what we can do to help them get there. I mean, if we gave them a bid in the first place, doesn't that mean we saw something in them worthy of our letters? I think GLO's should stand by that, not the "he said-she said" that follows people from high school.
Thank you, here's my soapbox back.
