What do you think of Greek Life?

Sorry, I was very specific about what I was referring to.

Well now we're clear on the issue, you were specifically speaking to Greek "women in power" and being able to "sound off". But I was speaking of women in power generally [since they are proportionately and actually, at least regarding NPHC is concerned, a larger number], and as I previously stated, many of them are not advocating for programs, as well as aiming to alleviate programs that target women and assist them in entering college. no big deal, topics "stray" all the time, and it is inevitable, "greekdom" especially NPHC is a VERY small sub-segment of the general population, you can not speak on it without speaking on the population at large.

I beg to DIFFER. Can you give an example how the greater society is affected by us?

I can actually think of SEVERAL instances in which this is true [i.e., various service events to the community], but since I did NOT say that greater society was affected by us, I can't understand why you'd ask me to cite an example. What I said was GREEK LIFE is affected BY GREATER SOCIETY, not that it AFFECTS GREATER SOCIETY.

No, I was not.

Well we cleared that up in the first segment of this reply, no need to repeat. You weren't, I was, so now can you understand the reply I made to you initially, with an understanding I know those ppl aren't in NPHC groups?
