Everyone needs to remove themselves from their high horses, get down on level ground and chill out. this is a chat room!!!! (and this includes you Rudey, who i see is fairly new to GC).
I am going to post my opinion, and honestly, don't care to much if it's not 100% PC and not what you want to hear. If you don't like it, don't read it. This is for people who just want to see what other people think or what their experiences might be.
In all honesty, i understand why it may be important to some people to have GLO's that are religion or culturly bound. It is a place for similar people with similar backgrounds to share and grow together. However, in defense of the people who think that these segragation houses are wrong, i don't think people in GLO's who are religous or culturally based should be shoving it in in the face of people who think that its not needed in the greek community. I believe that even tolerance has its limitations, and for someone to come on here and go on and on about how their GLO is specifically designed for a certain religion, even though their nationals doesnt say so, is pretty rediculous. Especially in this day and age when you can no longer discriminate on that basis and your chapter would probably end up in court if they actually promoted it that way. (just like the citadell said it was all men and they had to let a woman in, and just like the old fraternities and sororities had to institute a by-law in their national recruitment books that they could not discriminate on the basis of sex, religion, or ethnic background. And honestly, i don't think your nationals would be all to thrilled if they saw these posts telling people how you basically discriminate against all other religions.
