Just because I don't drink or have sex doesn't make me less of a sinner than someone who does...they may engage in more public behavior but that's no worse than the mean thoughts I might think about someone or the gossip I might spread in a weak moment. Quite frankly, the way this article speaks makes the members of Greek InterVarsity sound down right manipulative. There's a difference between spreading the Gospel by just behaving in a manner that God would want you to among friends and purposely inserting yourself into groups for the sole purpose of preaching at them. This article makes the members of Greek InterVarsity sound only interested in the latter. And guess what? I joined the sorority on campus with the worst "party reputation" and I've found not only that no one judges me at all, but also so many girls share my faith. the assumptions in this article are obnoxious.

This^. It was incredibly demeaning and obnoxious. This is the kind of stuff that turns people off. They're doing themselves a disservice by talking about "rubbing shoulders with the sinners".
