I think we all think it's okay if you tell us the real names of the fraternities since we know you don't join one of those.

(Oh, this was also the fraternity whose member had manhandled me during my freshman year.) In my mind, it was the most decent thing that I had ever seen any organization do collectively; and I went over and told the guy who was sitting down that. He thanked me and we had a nice little chat. That one small act did as much to change my perception of this organization as the early incident had; and it also influenced my perception all of the organizations. This coupled with my friends experiences made me think that maybe there was something to them after all.

So I guess for me, these seemingly small moments and personal interactions--as opposed to all of the fan fare--were the ones that really shaped my perspective on greek life.

To be concluded soon...
That was good to hear because I thought the other students leaving their trays was tacky.

I agree.

Yes, the students leaving their trays did show a lack of home-training and common courtesy.

OK, since folks want to know:

The "You Can't Sit There" Fraternity: Alpha Phi Alpha

The "Man-Handling/Cafe Cleaning" Fraternity: Omega Psi Phi

interesting - in my head it was the other way around...

but at the same time, i always hear guys who are interested in Que talk about how they admire their community service, even if it is the seemingly littlest thing (i know, all the frats do service, but i've heard this moreso than about the others from interests)

For me, the act was quite unexpected. I mean, I had this impression of that organization, based on the behavior of the members that I had observed and encountered, that would not have predicted such an thoughtful act.

Though the Omegas on my campus were some beautiful brothers (they had this trio of members who all had locks, they were specimens of near perfections), I mostly only knew them for standing around under their tree and harassing hapless freshman who happened to wander onto their grass.
