The honest truth of it is-there are "snots" in GLOs and there are "snots" that aren't in GLOs.

ALL of us will be dealing with "snots" the rest of our lives.

I don't think the stereotype belongs to individuals so much as preconceived ideas that PERHAPS have their origins in the media.
I also agree that it is irksome that we must honor a higher standard because of this image.

I would bet many of us have read articles about alcohol poisoning where the reporter ALWAYS finds it necessary to state if the victim WAS or WAS NOT in a fraternity/sorority.

Still.........if we all try to behave like decent people and PLEDGE decent people rather than numbers (yes, it's that old argument)
we may ALL be better served. I just think the selection process mystifies people and in many cases, as apparent on GC, can cause hurt and bitterness. Who the hell knows!
