First of all, I wanted to make it clear that I'm not a troll. I am actually a registered GCer that has over 1500 total posts since I registered a few years ago. The only reason I'm posting this (and another thread I will post later) under a different name is because, since the topic might cause tension, I didn't want other GCers to think of me badly. This being said, know that I am posting this with nothing but good intentions. Please keep an open mind, and I promise to do the same.
On to the topic. There's lots of Greeks who are in more than one GLO. I've seen some in 3! I have no problem with this. Out of personal observations, I know a few girls who are in both a NPC sorority and a service sorority. Yet, on their cars, they have a lisence plate, lisence plate frame, and decal for ONLY the NPC sorority. Or when they refer to both groups, they make it sound like the non-NPC was just an afterthought, or not as important.
In my observations here on GC, I've seen many, many posters who are in more than one GLO. What bothers me is that sometimes the poster only includes the letters for ONE of their groups in their sig, or if both are there...the NPC/NPHC is always larger, and above the other! This, too, makes it look like the non NPC was just an afterthought, or not as important to them.
If you joined two groups, you should love them both equally. I'm actually in an NPC sorority. I'm familiar with the two service orgs on my campus well because my best friend belongs to one and I dated a guy in another. If I were in a non-NPC though, I would never consider it to be less important than my NPC. I'm not saying this is what those people think, but it looks that way.
If one set of letters is larger for a good reason--say, you joined it long before the non-npc or whatever--then maybe I see the reasoning.
Other than that, I'd like to see non-NPC/NPHC GLOs start being treated like equal Greeks.
