It's good for me to learn that not everyone's experience with these types of groups was negative. While I was not a member of one of these groups, I am one of the people who thought all greeks were followers who needed acceptance by the time I entered college. (2 yrs. ago) Why? Because this is what I saw in high school. Some of the things those girls were put through (as far as being hazed) is pathetic, and on top of that, it served no purpose, other than to pad someone's pockets (yes they paid dues) and to give the girls a feeling of acceptance. For this reason, I think any high school group without supervision and support from seasoned BGLO members should be banned. The existence of any other type of group only serves to cloud the perception of real greek life. Just my .02 cents.
