I agree.
On a somewhat personal note. Growing up in a small Southern college town with a vibrant Geek community was great. There wasn't really any negative connotations associated with being Greek.
Maybe it was a Southern thing. Maybe a small town thing. Not sure which or if it was both. But in any case, joining a GLO was considered both a privilege and an honor. Amongst both the students and the town folk.
And for what it is worth, I feel this is a carry over from the attitude of the 1950's & 1960's. That Greeks are an integral part of college life and future leaders of society.
