Greek orgs should be elite.
Members should be an example of the best and brightest.
Greek orgs should NOT be elitist. They should not assume that it is membership in the org alone that grants that best and brightest status, nor should they think that those outside of their orgs are somehow less than they.
I don't think it's that difficult to understand.

It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity.-- G.K. Chesterton
