Very interesting article.
Thanks for pointing it out.
It was especially interesting to read this article since I have been job hunting. I assumed it MIGHT help me, but towards the end of my job search I decided to remove it. I began to think that maybe it was hurting me. I feared some might think I placed it there in order to get special recognition. Furthermore, I wondered if any of my prospective employers were anti-greek, furthering my chance of not landing the job.
You just never know. I think it helps if you know that you are being interviewed by a fellow greek, but whoever knows that for sure? The resume I faxed to the employer who just offered me a job did not have my sorority affiliation listed on it.
The article pointed out that networking through one's GLO is "elitist". I understand that point of view. And although I would love to associate myself with the finer things in life, I do not like the idea of being an "elitist" to the point that my affiliation with an organization lands me the job over someone who might be a more qualified candidate.
