I realize those statements were taken out of context. At the same time -- what're y'all THINKING?! If you joined your group to drink and party, you're on the wrong website.

(1) You're making assumptions that the reasons stated that SOME PEOPLE join the Greek system were those of the people posting them. I certainly didn't join the Greek system to drink (I had enough friends who are 21 that I could do it for cheaper elsewhere), but I have to admit that the social calendar was part of it.
(2) Last I checked, GC was a website for Greeks. Not a website for Greeks-who-joined-the-system-for-completely-non-selfish-reasons.
(3) As 33girl said, don't make assumptions about what kind of members people are just because their reasons for joining were not as pure as yours. I have plenty of sisters who joined just because they thought it would be "fun" -- yet they are awesome sisters and have gone onto become new member ed, president, rush chair, whatever, and done a great job of it.
(4) Why are so many people looking down at people who drink in this thread? Just because you don't do it doesn't mean that you're a better person than they are, which is a prevailing attitude in this thread (or at least, it's coming off that way). And if you DO drink in college, or did, then what business do you have feeling superior to those who do the same thing?
And before I forget, props to AllisonDG and justamom -- Allison for backing me up, even if she's too afraid to post
and JAM for donating to St. Jude's, which is a wonderful, wonderful cause and deserves every cent of it.
