Greeks were largely social with little thought to anythig else (yes, there was philanthropy, but it has come a long way!) until the mid-80's when a report was published on the negative impact of Greeks on college campuses. At that point, HQ's had to reshape the image of Greek Life. ADPi was the first to do this, with the roll-out of the Total Membership Education program, or TME. It shortened the new member period considerably, established more PC terminology, set a zero tolerance level for hazing, increased academic expecations and tools for academic success, and provided yearround programming for members and non members on relevant issues facing college students (trainings on leadership, career networking, eating disorders, date rape, wellness and fitness, etc.)
I can't remember the name of that report... The White Papers, perhaps?
