ranks of the traditional IFCs in some locations. The U of Mich
has long been home to many professional fraternities who do
operate, in some cases, as social ones.
If we are hell-bent on destroying collegiate identities, why don't
we just confer the PhD at birth and get on with living?
But, please, please, please don't piss on my leg and tell me it is raining. Anybody can take any name they want to.
But they are a helleva far cry from SAE, Beta, TKE, or Theta,
Pi Phi or DZ--all of whom are open to all today.
You all damned well know what I mean.

What are you talking about???? Do you have your threads mixed up?
Where in this thread did we delve outside the realm of NPC or IFC????
Why can't urban campuses have GLOs? My school, the University of Pittsburgh, is a very urban campus as we have 11 thriving NPC GLO's, around 16 IFC, several NPHC (sorry, don't know exact number), and 1 multicultural.
To quote two posts back from you, "What has happened to civility?" ?
An excellent question, and one that's appropriate for you to ask, especially in light of your own posts.
You haven't exactly been polite or civil in your posts ("You all damned well know what I'm talking about"), and have been quite condescending. Even though I think most of us really aren't sure what your point is in relation to this thread.
I, for one, really don't understand the tone of your posts. What the heck did we do to you to make you talk this way to us???
The only "pissing contest" I see is you and Tom rivaling for most confusing posts to understand.
And Tom, no offense meant here- we're used to it, and you don't take an air of condensention with us usually!
