Your apparent reasons for joining a GLO are not even remotely similar to mine. And don't even begin to lecture me on who is a part of the problem!

I'd love to know what my "apparent reasons" are, according to you. And if you're going to say that everyone on this board who joined a Greek org for reasons you don't deem worthy is a "part of the problem", well, umm, what do you say kids? Should we solve the problem by terminating ourselves alphabetically?
If you would have read more of my comments you would have seen that I joined a Greek org to make friends and widen my social circle beyond that of my boyfriend's. As far as philanthropy was concerned, I was already doing plenty of community/campus service with Alpha Phi Omega. If all I wanted to do was party, which seems to be what you're implying, I certainly wouldn't have joined the group that was known as the campus teetotalers.
I don't have an "agenda" although I'm amused because I got accused of that by another member of a nationally dry fraternity. I guess agenda = saying things you don't like to hear. James' post about the Greek system being like an abuse victim that acts like/thinks he/she deserves the abuse said it all.
Like I said, condescending to people - especially the 18-22 set - gets you nowhere. But if it works for you and you like for your fraternity to be associated with that attitude, hey, keep it up.
