(This is not a slight to lucgreek)

I must remind GCers that something being taboo for NPC and/or IFC isn't synonymous with "taboo among Greeks." NPC and IFC aren't the only collegiate GLOs.

(It's the same as when GCers remind NPHCers that we aren't the only ones who stress lifetime commitments, etc. and the way we do things shouldn't be used to judge other GLOs)

I must also remind people that the whole "how will it make Greeks look" is not a universal concern for Greeks across councils and conferences. I only heard NPC/NIC (IFC?) in college who cared about that; and I never heard so much about "the Greek stereotype" until I started posting on Greekchat. NPHCers, for instance, have other concerns and stereotypes that have little to do with drinking and whatever else. Afterall, the Greek stereotype (drinking; the word "frat" being seen as an insult; etc.) is based on the generalized majority, which tends not to include BGLOs, MCGLOs, LGLOs.

Just something to think about.
