Lady Pi Phi, you have come to an interesting conclusion. One that many have thought before, and I feel will think in the future. With any stereotype, some things are true, and some things are false. Some ideas apply to a few, and some ideas don't apply to any. It's tough for each individual in each organization to think about themselvesin the context of perpetuating the stereotype. Most people, when they do things that seem unbecoming to greek life, think of themselves as an individual.
However, I agree that our organizations need to look into themselves and figure out what we stand for, and how we can make positive changes while still being social clubs with selective membership (I for one would love to see greek women support womens issues like part time work for mothers, and corporate day care, but sororities shy away from such politics).
I think what we need to ask is if GLO's influence behavior, or if they just reflect what is going on for college students in general? Sure their are rapes in Frat houses, but their are also rapes in campus dormitories and apartments. Their is also binge drinking by minors on cmpuses that don't have greeks.
