I could see the formation of another BGLO council.

I agree with you on that one.
Rainman,
Most universities are requiring greek-lettered organization to be affiliated with a national council--somewhat of a tracking/insurance/liability/etc. service for the university.
It was from my understanding on being active with the grad NPHC and interacting with the university, that the university was going to ceremoniously place all NPHC affiliates with a very weak local "greek council", when there has been an established NPHC graduate and undergraduate for years...
Yeah, maybe it had fallen on the wayside, but once picked up, it has taken off.
Most non-greeks do not see the behind the scenes work that goes on within these councils. And most non-traditional greek organizations that are outside the IFC and NPC do not see all the requirements that must be done to maintain their organizations. However, when one has the opportunity to observe the behind the scenes action, I think it might better help them make decisions on what exactly the greek-lettered organization they wish to pursue.
But you know young people. They won't investigate that much into stuff before they rush to judgement...
Oh well...
