I beg to differ on your statement. Just because someone is in a GLO doesn't make him or her a 'quality person.' Shoud a person automatically assume just because a man or woman is rich that he or she is a good person? No. That's how a lot of women, particularly, black women, get their hearts broken: They assume. They choose to see what they want to see instead of what's really there. I know a lot of GLO brothers that are very upstanding, reputable gentlemen, and I know some GLO brothers that are sitting in jail right now or are fugitives of justice.

The general pool of students at ANY college or university is a cut above the general populus of North America. I've dated or befriended many sisters while in undergrad that were scholars--one in particular had a 4.3 GPA and wrote her ticket to any graduate school she wanted to attend in the country. I've dated other sisters that were a cut above the rest of the general populus of the campus I was on, and they weren't greek. In fact, many of the top performing students on campus weren't greek.

Back in college, if I had assumed a particular GLO sister I was dating was the best for me, I would have been in some serious hurt. If I had a choice between a GLO sister that's finishing her residency at a prominant hospital and a non-GLO sister that is doing the same, I would choose the sister that I'm most compatible with ( do I love her?). Sure, it's relative to seek out a partner who has as many similar interests as you--specifically if you're in a GLO--but I wouldn't make it a top priority nor would I assume she SHOULD be the best for me solely because she is in a GLO. If I happen to be involved with a woman that is in a GLO it would make it all the better. But I'm more concerned with being in love than sharing GLO stories and responsibilities.
Funny, you quoted my statement but clearly you did not read it...and to think I purposely put the word "should" in capital letters.
