Good point, Lady Longhorn.
And to address the issue of rumors and snark - what many collegians and some alumnae do not realize is that we are all in this together. If one chapter struggles, it does impact the others, and not in a good way. Yes, we are competing, but at the end of the day, a thriving Greek system in which all chapters are strong is the best way to ensure that pnms are able to have a home, and that the Greek system will be well-regarded and strong. I'm sure we've all had the experience of hearing a teaser for the news "Sorority in trouble" and said to ourselves, "Oh, please don't let it be my sorority!". But here's the kicker - it doesn't matter . To Joe Blow in the street, all those sororities are the same. Greek letters are Greek letters, and we are all are tarred with the same brush.
Panhellenic spirit isn't (or shouldn't) be just a nice little something that we say once a year at formal recruitment. If you truly embody the ideals and creed of your sorority, I fail to see what part pettiness and snide comments can have in your life. And if you don't - why not spend more time on improving yourself rather than making your GLO look bad. 'Cause arrogance and spite are never pretty.
