[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in one, very active on Panhellenic board, husband was also in IFC. There are many pros and cons. I think it elicits strong reactions due to the immaturity of “sorry you didn’t get a bid” type of comments. Some Greeks don’t seem to comprehend that it is very unappealing for very valid reasons to some people. I am glad mine aren’t interested despite having an overall positive experience. I do understand why others are excited about it,  it can be a lot of fun and friends for a lifetime. [/quote]

See, I get all of that, but it doesn't justify nasty parents jumping on any thread that relates to going Greek to rip apart and generalize against any kid who wants to do it or any parent who supports it.  [b]And the reasons they give often do make them sound jealous[/b] because mostly they didn't go Greek themselves and their kids don't want to so why bother saying anything at all?  I'm just wondering why they feel the need to. [/quote]

LOL. PP gave a very balanced response that included the insight that a lot of people are reacting to “sorry you didn’t get a bid” type comments, and then you make her point for her. Good lord.

If Greek life is so wonderful, enjoy it! Revel in it! Why would you let strangers on the internet you’re sure are just jealous bring you down?[/quote]
