I am planning to write a letter discussing my positive experiences with the sorority. I don't want to verbally attack this woman though because she was expressing her opinion, and I think a lot of us can admit that some of this stereotypical behavior does go on in numerous organizations. Besides, that will just make us Greeks look bad attacking her for her beliefs. She is probably young too and inexperienced in writing. I think the best thing to do in these cases is talk about the positive aspects of being Greek. It's not for everyone, and that is fine. I am wondering what we can do as Greeks to promote a more positive image for Greek life? Sometimes I feel wierd telling a co-worker that I am hanging out with my sorority alumnae organization. I feel like they look at me funny or something since I have been out of college for awhile now (almost 6 years). But my GLO is still part of who I am and I am proud of that. I am wondering if we asked some of these anti-Greek people what would be the things that could change THEIR minds about GLO's, what would they say? Like if they were to decide to join a GLO what would it have to be like?
