As I said, I don't have a bias. Whatever new GLO that is selected will be accepted. But for the alums that have a preference, we will continue to put our opinions in with our chapters and with the school administration.
In terms of people who may be biased against CMU, 2 years ago kddani wrote the following in regards to Carnegie Mellon
on a different thread in Greek Chat.
"The student body is largely foreign (it's very easy to walk across the entire campus and not hear English spoken even once)... it's a very "nerdy" school- a lot of very smart and very geeky people.
Most of the "normal"/ "cool" kids joing a GLO b/c they want the socialization. So there's not really a whole lot of GDI's out to get them or anything.
It's a very interesting campus culture...."
Quite a few broad based stereotypes are in that quote.
Pitt and CMU students very rarely interact. We each have our focuses and they don't overlap so there is minimal rivalry. Several of the GLOs have chapters at both campuses but rarely host joint Pitt/CMU events. There are international students but after 9/11 that number has decreased. We are not simply an engineering school, we have a phenomenal fine arts and drama school. The Economics Department has more Nobel Prize winners than any other department. I could go on but there is no need.
