Not participating in the Genesis Project? Come ON. That's like saying the groups that don't participate in Kristen's Story are in favor of rape. In case you don't realize, participating in things like that costs MONEEEEEEE. Maybe they feel that using that money on their chapters and their SISTERS is a better idea than putting it into a group whose purpose is still somewhat murky. (Here's the thread from before so you can see if your GLO is one of those that Russell thinks isn't being "proactive." http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...threadid=41027)
and just as a side note, I know a tad-bit more about this campus than you realize, and I'm still calling BS prestige reasons for what Dolphin Chica's group was told.

I never said, or implied that a GLO should keep staff on site "forever." I am saying that a GLO needs to be able to be effective for a period lasting as long as a few months. Also, the GLO has to be willing, and able to effectively clean house, and this requires available and qualified staff members. And in the worst case scenarios, the GLO needs to be able to effectively negotiate a return to campus so that the chapter can be shut down for up to 5 years. GLOs are anything but equal in these areas, and even if someone doesn't agree, the only opinion that really matters, at the end of the day, is with administrators.
As far as joining groups like the Genesis Project, if you don't have the money to do that, then you probably don't have the money to effectively colonize at a Big 10 school. Also, the Genesis Project's creation was motivated directly by the current unified and explicitly stated concerns of American university presidents.
