That's all said and done, yes "traditional" ifc members do also become successful. Your main point about 5 pages back was that you never heard of successful BGLO members, which could have been rectified by simple research. Now onto the topic of livelong membership, look at your "traditional" ifc members. Do they still claim the fact that they were a part of a great orginization (which I have no doubt about your or any other "white" fraternity being)? Do they still hold those ideals high, and still contribute to the best interests of the brotherhood/sisterhood? That's why we hold our graduate and alumni chapters to high regard. Because being an Alpha, or a Delta or what have you is a LIFELONG commitment. Not just something that just passes. If it wasn't then you would have lost the meaning of fraternity/brotherhood. And we have people in the senate, we have people in the house of representatives also. So you couldn't really point that out, unless your point is that the majority of people in office are white.
(and before you assume, I am a white member of a BGLO)
