  1. I wanted to offer a more creative take on this societal trend, but the inherent question for fraternal organizations is, "does this matter?" Thanks to technology, we can go through our days fairly isolated now, and perhaps not even notice. As organizations built upon human relationships, are fraternities and sororities growing archaic? Or, are organizations like ours more important now than ever? I don't know the answer, but I find it to be a very interesting question.

  2. Great post. You got the creativity part right, and it is a disturbing trend isn't it?

    I don't think that human connection will ever be supplanted. Like-minded people have always gathered (in physical locations, not just online), and as long as we have universities, we will need homes-away-from-home.
