If how other people perceive you doesn't matter to you because in the end they just don't know your org, then why come on GC and try to fight off those views?
While you may or may not deserve how people perceive you, in the end every time someone talks about how rough it is in a black glo, every time you see a kid with a branding, every time you see guys forced to march and do pushups, you get influenced. The fact is that black glo chapters are a lot smaller so maybe that's part of the perception. Maybe it's because whenever you hear of "white" glos it always involves weird sexual or alcohol stuff as opposed to black fraternities where you think of violence.
And it doesn't matter how your glo tried to stop these things. It really doesn't matter for ANY glo because that news headline of someone shooting a pledge in the schlong with a gun won't go away. That image has done its damage and it takes a long time to totally reverse it.
