Reaction to other GLO's

[Kevin]

Your real question is whether or not we consider you greeks at all.

I'd say that we do and we don't (or at least this is how I see it).

Amelia, your acting fraternity is a professional organization. While you do have many rituals and similiarities that are similar to traditional social organizations, you have enough differences that you really aren't the same. You don't participate in Rush, most likely, you don't participate in Greek Week, you don't have social events planned with other GLO's, etc. Your fraternity focuses on your profession. You socialize and learn from those in your chosen profession. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not Greek in the same sense that social groups are.

In summary: Yes, you are greek. However, you are not greek like us.

Does that give anyone the right to look down on you? Heck no. Do people do it? Maybe on your campus, but really, I've never seen it. Usually, we have as much to do with organizations like yours as we do with Circle K or the International Student Senate.
