I'm guessing they have mixed feelings. On one hand, it gets positive publicity on campus for the chapter, but on the other hand, I'm sure they would rather the chapter be focused on the National's priorities, rather than pouring the HUGE amount of time, effort and fund-raising toward 'thon.

Well, I know for Phi Mu this is almost seen as a "double-dip" because THON supports Hershey Medical Center which is a Children's Miracle Network affiliate. Because of this, the Penn State (Beta Mu) chapter of Phi Mu is the highest all-time money raiser of all Phi Mu chapters for CMN. This is just another reason I am proud of my chapter!
I see what you are saying, though. A good way to look at it, from a perspective where your GLO may not receive any actual benefits from THON is that this makes the Greek community look incredible! I don't care if you are a Phi Mu or an ASA, ADPi, Theta, whatever-this makes us all look great! I love telling my friends in various GLOs about the fact that they should support their hard-working brothers/ sisters because THON is around the corner!
We Are...Penn State!
