(I'm not really the person who complains about people or bands "selling out" all the time, but sometimes we tip too far to the corporate marketing/corporate public relations side of things, IMO. I'm pretty cool with stuff done to appeal to the media that young members want to use but not with selling organizations to parents and high schoolers with superficial boosterism. It ought to be clear from what we do as organizations what sorority life is all about, and if it's not, are slick NPC sites going to help?)
Thanks for posting the links. Sorry for being a raincloud, especially if any folks from here worked on the site or participated in its design.

I don't see this as marketing. I see this as a way to keep people informed.
I'm not going to make assumptions about you or your experience, but if you were in an environment where people don't know much about Greek life, and where a lot of students don't get involved because their parents are against it (for no other reason than they believe all the stereotypes), then I would assume you would see all of this differently.
I only wish there were sites like this for me to look at when I entered college, as I knew next to nothing about Greek life. If I had sites like this presented to me, then I might have joined sooner than I did.
