Some of the orgs were full of good guys, but I'm not too sure if they knew I was a good guy. Before being given the priveledge of trying to become an Alpha, I learned that I had to seek out membership. The bruhs were going to be there, but they were only going to help me if I was willing to help myself in the process. That's the way they treat everybody, regardles of race.

The way you are explaining your GLO experience is exactly the way I feel about mine. I think it has to do with the Greek culture at the school, and where the school is. I know that NPC sororities have what is called "Formal Recruitment," as opposed to "rush," so it is can be a lot more serious than most fraternity "rushes." It might be time for IFC fraternities to streamline their recruitment processes and adopt a more formal way of finding members. Sometimes, they can get out of hand--one fraternity on my campus had a cigars and bourbon night for recruiting members, which I found tasteless and completely playing into the stereotype that all fraternity members are brainless binge drinkers.
