HOWEVER, there is a caveat: Many PROFESSORS don't take you seriously because they're usually far left anti-establishment assholes who are more prejudiced than their right wing adveseries.....which is why if you are greek I would recommend you not wear letters in certain classes....ESPECIALLY at the more hippie schools.

How did political beliefs get dragged into this? You don't have to be conservative or liberal to be anti-greek. There are plenty of anti-greeks from both sides of the fence.

I was a journalism major at IU and I can tell you that attitudes in the J-school have definitely changed. I had a ton of Greeks in my journalism classes. In fact, I took one class when I returned where I think everyone except two or three people were Greek. Several of the editors of the newspaper were Greek (I think we had two or three AXiD editors-in-chief in a row! I know that sorority had a large concentration of journalism majors.)

I am a girl in engineering, and know several other guys in engineering in fraternities and also some guys/girls that are greek that are hard-core science majors.

Many of them NEVER wear their letters to any class. MOST recommend to not wear letters or greek stuff the first 4-5 weeks of class.

Their assumption: professors will NOT take Greek students seriously. Even if you are in your upper-division classes, they will assume you will try to slide by, ask stupid questions, and be a nussiance to the class.

In my experience, many of my professors didn't know how to react to someone who is smart and greek (all of us!)... let alone a female in engineering My thought was always that it would be very positive to see a Greek student with letters it difficult classes.

OK, I just think this is all sub-pathetic. No one should have to cover up what they are.

Go to class, do a kickass job on the work, and make the anti-Greek professors look like the idiots they are. If they STILL treat you like crap...and treat other students doing the same level of work differently...then you've got a good anti-discrimination suit waiting to happen. Maybe then some of these prejudiced people will learn their lesson.

Attitudes against Greeks will never change until we stand up for ourselves and say "no, we are NOT that stereotype." Hiding the fact that you're Greek just seems to confirm that it's true.

You said a mouth full with your post.

This is the sad part when Greeks are impuned by so called Intllectual Professionals who are majors and in major parts of Colleges.

The narrow mindiness of these so called well educated people is underwhelming considering the roles that Greeks have played in History in all forms of Business, Sports, Politics and Enterntainment. Did I miss any field?

But at the same time who has given them the call for doing it?

Could be, that they were GLO members but are now embarresed to admit it?
