When I first read the original post that started this thread, all I could think was "

Justamom noted [on the first page of this thread] that if she could hand-pick who could wear her letters based on their symphony alone, they might lose some members... reasonably speaking, I think every GLO whether it be NPC, IFC, NPHC, multi-cultural, locals or whatever, the situation would probably be the same... not everyone lives up to their creeds/symphonies like our founders had hoped.
Justamom was also hit it right on the nail when she said that with the short rush process that GLO's tend to "result in GLO's grabbing the flashier box". I think her explanation about that made perfect sense too.
Me personally, I feel the same as sugar and spice who said I'd rather have a sister who was there for me and the chapter than someone who has awesome grades, looks like Barbie, and has a dad who owns a company and an island off the coast, that doesn't do anything.
Alpha Delta Pi's open motto is "We Live For Each Other", and like part of our Creed says:
"I BELIEVE that our motto “We Live For Each Other,” expresses the true spirit of fraternity; and that by living this motto my life will be enriched by true friendships and by unselfish service to mankind. "
