Co-sign. In all my years as an active, an alumna advisor, a professor and alumnae panhellenic officer I have yet to see any one who tried to get something out of their GLO fail to do so. No, those who complain that it didn't do anything for them are the same people who sat on the sidelines, let others do the heavy lifting, treated it like just another club, joined just to help their career, and somehow thought the ritual and wearing those letters would transform them with no effort on their part.

In answer to the op - I have grown from thinking only of my chapter and the GLOs at my campus to understanding the breadth and depth and scope of the Greek movement. I am awed when I look at the leaders - on every level of society - who continue to so positively impact their communities. I see thousands of women with whom I share a bond - both my sisters in Gamma Phi AND my NPC "cousins' - a bond which has enriched my life, and which has enabled me to challenge myself to aspire to live my creed every day.
