The chat rooms at greekchat.com are intended for use by members/alumni/prospects of fraternities & sororities. I think all the people of Greek heritage (not counting those who are involved in fraternities / sororities) are using the chat because of a mis-understanding of what the website is about. The confusion is probably coming from the title of the website, the domain name (greekchat.com) and the fact that the word greek is used practically all over the website. greekchat.com is definitely not being promoted/advertised as a greek-language chat.
Actually, for a while I have been thinking about how to make the real purpose of greekchat.com more obvious within the chat (to speakers of the greek language). In the chat I will probably change "Greek Chat Network" to "Fraterntity & Sorority Chat Network" along with updating the appropriate graphics. We are also considering other options to better integrate the chat with the message board system.
