When it comes to Greeksing, I would be all for it if they participated in thier own category. If a service sorority and a service fraternity wanted to enter, just to show off their talents, and be part of the action of Greeksing then fine. But to have a service sorority and a social fraternity as a team, competing against all social groups, then that is where the problems arise. Greeksing is worth the most points in our Greek Week, and if they place high enough, the social frarternity gets the points towards Greek Week, and the service sorority just uses up those points, and they are "wasted" because they are not part of Greek Week.
As for consistently doing more service projects on campus, that is what you are supposed to do as a service group. As a social group we do more social activites. We have required amounts of service hours every semester, and we as a social fraternity only fall 3 hours short of the requirement that the service fraternities have. We do our own service activities and we do a lot of it.
No one get me wrong, I am all for service organizations, I just don't think that the tradition of Greek Week, at my school at least, is a social greek thing, and it is something that a lot of people don't want to change. Change can be good, but not always.
