More accurately, "some" and even "many" do those things but "the average" doesn't; and I'm talking across the nation and across councils, conferences, and GLOs.

Moreover, I have yet to see proof that even the craziest GLOer is crazier than the craziest nonGreek college student. GLOs just provide an additional context for college students who are looking for the opportunity to act carefree and crazy. Not all of us were like that as college students but we certainly knew those who were.

I also compare the humor of this article to when I read about A.C. Green. He was considered a good guy when it comes to the NBA. Danny Ainge, as well. Why would they want to be a part of the NBA, which is known for hard partying, alcohol and hazing violations (yes, they haze), and casual sex? Could it be that they saw a larger goal and something greater to be gained? Duhhhhhhhhhhh.
I may have not presented my case all too well DrPhil-For the most part, I do agree with you.
And as you point out, all kinds of living and social groups do crazy, stupid, dumb things. However if something of that nature happens in Todd Hall or Jones Dorm it just does not get written up anywhere.
It will get written up, it will get coverage if it happens in a national named group. And it will be covered even more so if something really bad comes out if their actions or deeds.
