you see discogoddess, you are thinking the same thing I am, only in reverse. Why would a white person not want to attend a college that (might be predominantly black) but has a great program for their major? Why wouldn't a white person want to join a BGLO if they share like-mindedness? The point is, both predominantly white organizations and predominantly black organizations and any other orginizations that are greek run along the same lines in focus. They ALL contribute to the community and society as a whole in some way, shape, or form. They might NOT have been founded for the same REASONS, but they all share a common goal, and that is to better the world we live in. In my opinion, it shouldn't matter what organization you join as long as you have the aims and ideals in mind and a love for what your organization you are in. In other words, you shouldn't join a GLO cause you're white and you shouldn't join a BGLO cause you're black. You should join XYZ cause it supports Animal Rights and you are all for that, or you should join GRT cause they help further research for breast cancer, or join YJR cause they are professional organization in your field.
