We shed some history about each others organizations but that was it. I agree with you also when you said you wouldn't join a BGLO, since it's not what you are culturally used to. I know I would never join a WGLO, but not because it's cuturally different. I went to a predominately white Catholic grade school and a predominately white Catholic military academy, so I know the culture, but WGLOs aren't life time, Well..at least most of them aren't, and to me they just don't do as much for the community at BGLOs. Not that they're bad or anything, it's just something I wouldn't have any interest in because of that. Like you said to each his own. Basically I just wanted to see if I could open you mind a little.

That's "funny" because the SAEs and Sigma Chis I went to school with could almost completely relate.
And it is a misconception that these other organizations are not for a lifetime. Many individuals who join those organizations go on to alum involvement. There are differences in how many of them live out their lifetime commitment versus how many of us do but it is still a lifetime commitment.
