Speaking strictly from my experience I whole heatedly enjoyed my open campus. I feel it fostered a lot of Greek unity. Plus it was quite impressing at Greek Unity events to see an LSU line a Mu line LTA line, LTO line, LTphi line, OPC class, a PSP line, and a CUS line either standing next to each other or at least in the same room. It gave a real aura of diversity of choice but at the same time a real sense of unity (not sure why). Rarely was there really much discussion of who pledged harder. Again my personal experience only.

OK. I was confused by the wording.

Like I said earlier, the norm down here seemed to be collaboration between the "linked" organizations (LTP/LTA, SLB/SLG, etc), but organizations usually came out to support their peers.

Most of the trash talking that I see about "OMG WE PLEDGE FOR 324,111 WEEKS!" has been online.

Psi Sigma Phi came out in force to Theta Nu Xi's founding line Emergence at Ramapo College. PSP had just one pledge, but you best believe he was posted up against a wall gritting through the entire performance.

I like this. When I was an undergrad, my org. was the only LGLO on campus, so I did not get to experience events like coming out/probates, "Meet the Greeks," picnics, etc. There were just two Latino fraternities within reasonable driving distance at the time, and my own org. only had one other chapter in the region back then. However, the area and my old campus saw an "LGLO explosion" around 2002-2003 and LGLO life continues to thrive.
