I was referring to the fact that there are other options out there and that APIA Greeks also have some age.
Nowhere. But the size and exclusivity factor is based on my experience with Asian parents. I live in Toronto, where the Asian communities, particulary Chinese, is HUGE. And pride to which schools and organizations a child joins is HUGE. Just because an organization (or school, for that matter) has been around for over 80 years, doesn't mean that the parents would be proud about it, because, guess what? Mom and Dad have never heard of them. Or if they have, their friends and relatives haven't. That's why so many parents want their kids in the Ivies or other well-known schools. I'm sure that being in a historically Asian fraternity, you would know this.
