I must say that I too have been 'educated' through this board about the 'Divine 9' (& also through some awesome Kappa acquaintances).
I've been fortunate enough to visit many AGD chapters over the past four years, both in Canada & the US. For the most part, my sisters & I have been welcomed with open arms & houses (most recently in Seattle this past weekend!). I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to gain this international perspective.
I have to agree with the statement that it really does feel like Canada & our 'little' greek systems, is a whole different world - relative to those of our neighbours to the south. I also think that this different 'feeling' is not just limited to greek life, but to university / college life as a whole.
I for one, wish that I had had the opportunity to attend a US college & to experience university American-style. Since it's out of the question for my undergrad, grad school down there is still an option ...
My advice to greeks everywhere is to take advantage of any opportunity that y0u can to both travel &/or interact (if only online) with other members of the greek commununity (regardless of letter) -- it can truly be an eye-opening experience.
That's my $.02 plus.
Greek love.
