Seriously though, this is not something that today's college student came up with, but something that has been passed on to us through more than a century of American history. If you think about it, GLOs are a vehicle through which we continue to celebrate our founders' values (and thereby our country's values) through ritual and sharing. (Ok...a little deep but hopefully you'll take it in the spirit its meant).
If she is so offended by that, tell her to move to Greece.

I did have one girl post and was all 'I'm greek-American' and it made me see red. This is just a personal peeve, but if you have citizenship in America and no other country, you're just American, period. Yes you can celebrate your heritage, your history, your ethnicity, but the only way you are actually a greek-american is if you share citizenships. When I get my US citizenship I'll be English-American.
I also pointed out that we use 'greek' with a small G. We don't claim to be Greek, or anything like that.
