[Firehouse]

I think DeltaSigStan is from San Diego State (don't you guys have a beautiful new house?). You say, "Gone are the days..." when Greeks basically ran things, but I can tell you that in the south and mid-west, the Greeks DO run things on most campuses. Relatively small numbers, but lots of power. Read up on 'The Machine' at Alabama. At Georgia Tech, their school foundation tracks lifetime giving of individuals by fraternity. At Missouri they have an active Alumni IFC. Greeks pretty much run the show at all the big schools, and most of the smaller ones.
We are called 'elitist' by the usual suspects, and are considered so because (as someone else above said) we have closed memberships.
