Ha, talk about idiotic.
People really need to get off the high horses, everyone was a GDI at one time or another. If you were born wearing letters, I'd seek counseling.

Good point, but there's more to it than simply wearing letters. I know that he was very adamant about how anti-Greek he was. He was an RA and would flat-out say "I'm going to write you up because you're Greek" when the Greek guys in his dorm would violate a rule, whereas he wouldn't write non-Greek guys up for doing the same thing. Just little things like that. He also was in student government and tried to ban Greeks from being able to hang signs or post fliers advertising recruitment events or philanthropy events or even signs simply stating they support the football or basketball teams before a big game...but it was still okay for other clubs/organizations to post fliers and signs around campus.
However, I was not in the room when they voted whether or not to extend him a bid. But why would you want someone in your organization that had exhibited such a hatred toward members of your community before? I'm sure people can change, but maybe they didn't felt like he had. Perhaps a semester or two of trying to get to know the brothers and genuinely proving he was interested would have helped secure him a place in the brotherhood.
