I agree with a lot of the other posts. Around the time that some of the GLO's were founded things were segregated and mixed race organizatons were unheard of. In the 21st century however, we do have ethnic people in GLOs and various races in BGLO. I know on our campus we have racial mingling amongst our Greek organizations like Greek Week and on-campus parties, but if you asked me if it would be the same back in 1920 I would say no. I don't think the idea behind BGLO was racist in theory but moreso to have somewhere to belong. We are all human regardless of race and have the same basic needs, especially feeling as though one belongs and is loved.
