You say I'm not addressing people correctly, but what about the way people are addressing me? How many comments can you find in this thread that could be considered "disrespectful"?
And while I appreciate all the comments, well wishing, snide remarks, criticisms, etc, all I wanted were suggestions on discreet advertising.
So why is it that when I pose a question, I'm being "bitter" and "too big for my britches"? Why can't others answer questions as I have? By the way, I never crticized, and made it clear that I support all GLOs, but most aren't what I wanted. Meanwhile, I find it crazy that people who don't know me from some random heffa they may meet on the street can analyze me and say I'm bitter lol. You just don't know me to say such a thing.
And yes I said "so many obstacles" because that is what we face, especially being new. We had critical decisions to make, had to question whether we were the right ones to even go on this venture. Had work out our days/time so we could put forth enough effort, we're constantly getting asked 21 questions and bein scrutinized. But that's part of the deal we made when we decided to start this. So YES, we face many obstacles.
Ok, to sum it all up: I support & respect ALL GLOs, I will come at people the way they come at me/respect them to the degree that they respect me, and all I wanted was suggestions on discreet advertising, but mainly got judgement & criticism of my organization.

When we advertise ourselves as Christians, it is important that we behave as Christ-like as possible. When Christ was accused what did he do? Matthew 27: 12-14:
12When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer. 13Then Pilate asked him, "Don't you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?" 14But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.
I think this is partially what Honeykiss meant when she talked about your testimony. Trust that people here (and on your campus) will be judging you and your organization's every action. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to show the love of Christ, even if you feel that others are not showing you the same love/respect.
Regarding advertising....since your campus has forbade you to advertise, it is important as a Christian organization that you follow their mandates and do not try to find a way to get around them. I would suggest word of mouth. Talk to people in your classes, in the cafeteria, etc. and invite them to your events.
You asked about affliating with a fraternity. What would be the purpose of that?
