Although your explanation is not as clear as I was hoping for, I can guess at what you are getting at. I would like to know what you want each group to understand about the other. For example, knowing how they conduct meetings, use for t-shirt vendors and where they are holding formals (all of those "internal operations") are not going to provide you with the depth that I believe that you are looking for and the rest is private "secret society" information that again, won’t give you what I think you are wanting.

As DSTCHAOS explained, you need to get involved with the Greek Life meetings and I would add Order of Omega. Only by making friends and contacts outside of your organization will you ever feel unity in the Greek system. But then you have to ask yourself why stop there and why not strive for unity among all student organizations at MSU regardless of Greek affiliation? Referring to sjsoffer's post, I wonder if maybe you are trying so hard to create an ideal situation (world peace) that you cannot sit back and appreciate the positives of the current situation.
