....if he's in a GLO you assume that he is intelligent, service oriented, etc. Why wade through the general pool of students for those qualities when you can just date a GLO member who SHOULD already have these qualities?

I beg to differ on your statement. Just because someone is in a GLO doesn't make him or her a 'quality person.' Shoud a person automatically assume just because a man or woman is rich that he or she is a good person? No. That's how a lot of women, particularly, black women, get their hearts broken: They assume. They choose to see what they want to see instead of what's really there. I know a lot of GLO brothers that are very upstanding, reputable gentlemen, and I know some GLO brothers that are sitting in jail right now or are fugitives of justice.

The general pool of students at ANY college or university is a cut above the general populus of North America. I've dated or befriended many sisters while in undergrad that were scholars--one in particular had a 4.3 GPA and wrote her ticket to any graduate school she wanted to attend in the country. I've dated other sisters that were a cut above the rest of the general populus of the campus I was on, and they weren't greek. In fact, many of the top performing students on campus weren't greek.

Back in college, if I had assumed a particular GLO sister I was dating was the best for me, I would have been in some serious hurt. If I had a choice between a GLO sister that's finishing her residency at a prominant hospital and a non-GLO sister that is doing the same, I would choose the sister that I'm most compatible with ( do I love her?). Sure, it's relative to seek out a partner who has as many similar interests as you--specifically if you're in a GLO--but I wouldn't make it a top priority nor would I assume she SHOULD be the best for me solely because she is in a GLO. If I happen to be involved with a woman that is in a GLO it would make it all the better. But I'm more concerned with being in love than sharing GLO stories and responsibilities.
