Correct me if I am wrong. Spike Lee was rejected for fraternity membership. Could this be the reason why he has a negative feeling about fraternities?

For the record, according to his commentary, his negative feelings are due to the fact that a lot of prospective members are willing to go through a lot of humiliation and physical abuse in order to belong to an organization and that a lot of fraternity brothers often use their letters in order to get women.
He also says in no uncertain terms that Gamma Phi Gamma is a culmination of the negative aspects of such Greeks as Alpha, Kappa, and Omega (no mention of Sigma or Iota).
While he does not outright state that he pledged Omega, he very subtly dropped hints that at least imply that he did.
His commentary IMHO was ok. Not quite what I looked forward to, but I liked it.
I just rented the School Daze DVD
