Are frats/sororities biased in who they invite to parties/events?

If you don't have a house, and you're having your party at a club or other off-campus venue, it's actually a pretty common and effective way of getting a good turn-out. This is a practice among ethnic GLOs in many areas of the country, and I assure you, 33girl, it does not automatically make a party "lame."

OP--as someone said earlier, chapters are allowed to distribute fliers to anyone they want to. Greeks are not the only groups that do this. I work on a large campus, and I see certain student orgs "pass over" some students walking by and hand fliers to others. If you really want one, just go up and ask for it.

^^I have heard of that, and I apologize for generalizing, but I don't think the OP was talking about ethnic GLOs.

I figured you were referring to the more mainstream GLO culture.

And even with facebook, flyers are still the way-to-go for many college-aged and grown folks parties when there's a venue for mass distribution.

ETA: Because facebook sucks so not everyone has a page and those who have a page don't necessarily check their invites and events regularly.
