OKAY, I attended an HBCU (Historically Black College/University and the ONLY groups that were on those campuses were BGLOs.
NOW, to answer YOUR question, you will have to look within your own group. Did or have you all invited OTHER groups? Have you all made OTHERS not like yourself feel comfortable or welcome? ALSO, what is the racial "climate" at your college or university?
I can just see from what goes on here in this greeklife forum that MANY non-black/minorities DO NOT want to have too much to do with members of BGLOs.
Just take a look at the comment I made in regards to who wished the BGLOs happy founder's day! That was only a FEW weeks ago.
I know one of the members of a traditionally "white" organization offered her congratulations, but was ridiculed for doing so AND SHE IS BLACK!
So, don't say that the members of the Divine Nine do not or will not want to partake in your activities...but just think about what your organization has done, or what is the relationship, if one exists between the groups.
And I know many chapters of my organization which are doing things to help in the fight of cancer, HIV/AIDS awareness, and other UNIVERSAL topics...
Btw, are you all doing anything for the education of Sickle Cell anemia/fundraiser? lupus? Are you all sponsoring a Black History program on your campus in conjunction with other groups, like the African-American council or whatever label is used?
Just curious!
