That being said...I don't know what the point of you starting this thread was to begin with. I bet you didn't know every brother in XYZ, how dare you generalize to the chapter??? A reputation doesn't mean squat as to how the members of the group are. We all know here on GC that one person's actions do NOT reflect the group in which they belong.

Wow...after reading the original post I feel the Greek love.
Regarding private schools, I also went to Catholic schools for 13 years. For some reason, Hawai`i is very private school happy. I'd say that for every 5 public schools, there's at least 1 private/parochial school. I *wanted* to go to public school so badly, but it was the all-girls' school or boarding school, so I didn't have a choice. Anyway, I was also one of those that had tons of public school friends..and I never really saw the difference in student life. While on interschool exchange, the only difference I saw with them and us was the fact that we had religion classes and that we had Mass every first Friday. 95% of my classmates went on to continue their education, whether it be at a 4 year university, a community college, or a technical school.
Regarding the original topic...it doesn't matter what your opinions are of the chapter of XYZ at your university. GC really isn't the avenue to bad-mouth them. Just because you think they're hardcore geeks and nerds doesn't dispel the fact that they have a brotherhood. And I think we should all be respectful of that.
