When I pledged SAE and had my formal pledgeship I didnt pledge for college......SAE is for life. While what you said about alot of GLO's being founded by people who might have been slave owners, or members of the KKK has truth to it thats no reason a person shouldnt join if it has the values they find to be correct (i.e. The Perfect Gentlemen). You cant change the past you can only learn from it. SAE was the first fraternity founded in the "deep south", even though it has a racist background we dont let that affect our rush. We had a rush party at which one of the rushees was black, and nobody treated him any diff. we all tried to get to know him along with the rest equally. What I'm saying is, just because it may have started in the wrong direction dont let it become stagnant, change it for the better.
