Glad You Admitted Your Faults
As for what I mean by "low-budget current members" take a look around GreekDom. Yes, there are wonderful men and women who are Greek but yes there are HORRIBLE men and women who are Greek. People getting killed everytime you turn around, a lawsuit here, a lawsuit there. A rape in this Frat house, another one down the road. Dislike the truth all you want, but that doesn't change it.
I know people who became Greek in the 70's, my uncle is a member of a NPHC organization his wife is an alumnus of a NPC organization, we talk all the time about how things have changed over the years. They tell me that the problem with these "kids" nowadays is that they've forgotten what Greekdom is about. Kinda like the problems in all parts of our society, people have strayed away from their roots, and that's understandable, times change. But some people really do disgrace their letters. Again, this is not what everyGLO members is about, but the question was who is the root of the problem, the Greeks are the roots of their own darn problems. Contrary to popular belief, society didn't have as much disdain for organizations as they do now in the earlier part of the 20th century. Most orgs were founded between what 1880-1930? A time full of problems. The Greeks were there to assist in resolutions not add to the problems. Provide a network for people to come together, not be a hot load of fools wearing the same colors. People use to have respect for their organizations, for themselves.
Again, these aren't blanket statements, there are some orgs who though some members have strayed, still represent what Greek life is about, and I respect that. What I DONT respect is denying the truth, denying that members of their organizations are falling into a black hole of indecency.
