However, lately I have been seeing it being used to describe greek members who other greek members feel are not group oriented. What do you all think of this?
I don't like anyone calling anyone a "GDI". It makes us sound like stuck up elitist snobs, and that's not a great look for the Greek community. Are we really so immature that we need to resort to name calling?

For what it's worth, I think the term orignated with non-Greek people calling themselves GDI in a sort of proud fashion, when Greeks rarely if ever used the term. They're the ones being snobby, not us.
