StrongBeauty & NewBee, do you only object to BGLOs or does your displeasure lie will ALL GLOs?

I answered 2 out of 3 questions, thats not bad. I stopped being interested in becoming a greek in 2002, after extensive research in not only the NPHC orgs, but the NPC sororities and some service and other locals as well. As my first post on this topic stated, one of the reasons is because of the unequally yoked verse. Another reason was finding out that most greek organizations black, white, or in between have roots in masonry, which I was already "weary" of, if nothing else than just because of lack of knowledge. (Thats a whole different topic but suffice to say being an OES is not for me either, and you have to be a believer to join...) The only thing I can say is that is how I felt GOD dealt with me through prayer and seeking His will for my life. I was convicted not to pursue membership.
I just want to say that I dont "object" to any greek organizations or find displeasure in them as you put it. I wouldn't be on here if I didn't find some type of entertainment from them. How I apply the scriptures however to my life means that its not for me and this would apply to all greek organizations that allow non-christians, not just BGLOs. It doesn't mean that I don't respect what they do for the community, or that I think that they are hellbound. I feel that you can learn a lot from people with veiws different than your own, and I can say that occasionally when I pick up my GreekChat addiction from time to time, I always learn something new, whether it be the latest celebrity news, or suggestions on styling natural hair.
