An interest in GLOs, within a community that normally would have dismissed GLOs out of hand as the purvue of an elite 'ethnic' group, and most importantly combats or dispells this mis-labelling does a service to the whole of the greek community - specifically within a system that is unfairly marginallized because of community misconceptions...

Aren't GLOs at U of T trying hard to become more diverse? If more "ethnic" GLOs decide to come to campus, wouldn't it slow down the process?
ETA: Rob, do you think ethnic GLOs would increase the interest in Greek Life for many students at U of T? Many students come from cultures where extra-curricular activities aren't really part of academic life. Students are just expected to go to school, study and get their degrees.
p.s. I was at AGD last month, the same day a New Member class was being held. I believe there are three girls (I've heard both three and four for the spring class, but I only saw three) who are going to be initiated in a few days and all three are Asian.
