Heck, GLOs weren't even that big on my campus! If they're offended because I went to a different school and think a tradition on their campus is weird, so be it. Then they're too sensitive. I'm sure some GMU traditions might seem weird to them, and I wouldn't be offended if they thought so. I don't think weird has this hugely negative conotation anyway...
I don't believe I'm reading too much into what you said at all.

I feel that we as members of fraternities and sororities can and should make every attempt to be as understanding and accepting of fraternal differences as we seek to be understood and accepted by the general public.

Freedom of association is under attack in many places and it doesn't help to have fellow greeks labeling other fraternal differences as "strange" or "weird."

They are different because you have not been exposed to them.
