I've been a brother at a lower-middle tier house for about 3 years now, so keep in mind that the rest of this post is probably from the point of view of somebody that doesn't have the most breadth in experience as a lot of people that come on GreekRank. However, I've been disillusioned for some time now with the hostility between top tier houses trying to compete to be the best, people bashing lower tier sororities, and a general lack of kinship in a community that should be doing its best to promote the image of Greek Life as a whole. I'm not saying that we need to all get together have some hippy-dippy bonding event with everybody that's in a fraternity or sorority. I do think, though, that a reflection on what it means to be involved in your respective organizations is a responsibility that's been neglected for far too long. Greek Life doesn't do too much to support a lot of the claims that it's the best thing that a Michigan State student can do with their time. We're too busy fighting about who the best houses are, securing fraternity/sorority pairings, and excluding as many people as possible. How is the rest of the MSU community going to feel even marginally welcome into a community that seems to thrive on tearing itself apart. We're not like Greek Life in the South where half of the student population is affiliated. We can hardly hold down double digits when it comes to the proportion of the student population that's involved in our respective organizations.
