I feel ya on that one Harlemgirl. I am interested in pledging a sorority myself, and there have been some people who take advantage of being Greek and that makes the whole Greek system look bad. But you have to look past that.
I personally think that some people go too far with their Letters. I was at a party at DePaul University in Chicago. It was a party to celebrate Skee-Week for the AKAs. A fight broke out. The AKA Gammi Chi chapter of Northwestern University and the AKA Beta Chapter (which is a city-wide chapter) were fighting because an AKA from one chapter cut the line of the other chapter as they were doing their stroll. It was ridiculous!!! AKAs fighting AKAs. What happened to sisterhood??????
It is true that you must look at people for what they are, but when you put on those Greek Letters, be it AKA, DST, SGRho......you are representing that organization as well as yourself and therefore must behave accordingly. People sometimes forget/ignore the principles upon which their organization was founded and it does make the entire sorority/fratenity look bad.
People like myself can look past those type of actions, but others who aren't as open-minded may frown upon the entire Greek Letter Organization.
