As a member of a GLO and a student who will graduate in April 2004, 5 years after I started. I am offended that you feel the need to blame my organization for my lack of the typical 4 year graduation. There are multiple reasons why I am not graduating in 4 years. Some personal, some financial, some academic. Everyone's situation is different. My organization has helped in so many ways, many of which I would not like to discuss on this board, but my GLO is not the cause. To say there is something wrong with a person not graduating in 4 years is like telling a person who attends a uniuversity for the first time at say the age of 30 that they are too late and they shouldn't even try.
I am sorry that you did not have a positive experience with Greek life, but it appears you have very little knowledge of North American Greek life. It would be best if you knew something about it before condeming it.
