I think part of this has to do with the fact that so many Greeks are so desperate to counteract the negative Greek stereotypes that they play up the great parts of Greek life and ignore the bad parts. Because of this, so many girls join their sororities thinking it's going to be this perfect thing -- and it's not. The new member period does little to counteract that idea, because with all of the anti-hazing laws and the fact that we don't want to scare these girls away from the organization before they're initiated, the view they during pledging is generally just as idyllic as the one they're shown during rush. It's not until sometime after initiation where we start seeing the holes in the facade, and sometimes that comes as a big shock.
Because of the "perfect" front that we put up, it can be hard to tell whether the problems we see within our GLOs are normal growing pains or the signs of something seriously wrong.
