Every body needs a social outlet and we all know that we have cliques...these are cliques....with community service.

As I always say, the devil doesn't need an advocate.
1) All of our organizations should be interested in college students who focus on GPA, BS, BA, LSAT, etc. The difference is that young adults are more capable of multitasking which is why our colleges and young adult/adult lives aren't structured the same as high schools and children's lives are.
2) Whose organizations?
I'm not opposed to these high school organizations. I think they are lame if they are aided by fraternity and sorority members and taught to mimick them. I also think it's lame if the children wear Greek letters and think they are in a lifetime commitment type of organization or in a stepping stone to GLOs type organization. It's cutesy high school stuff and that's it.
I was the president of a community service organization without Greek letters. We didn't have sororities at my school. Thank God.
