I feel ya. I remember when I went to Ohio State to visit with the Zeta Chapter Nupes and I saw WGLOs for the 1st time. I said to myself what is that???? I tried to remember some of them and the ones I did remember, I did some research and found out how old they were. Some were founded at the turn of the 20th Century but most were not. They were founded during the 19th Century. I thought this was interesting, but if I didn't go to a Historical Black college I still would have pledged Kappa Alpha Psi never an organization outside the Divine 9. I think Divine 9 orgs. do more including community service. My opinion
