Yes But said: " ...but if you are a student that has never ever heard of BGLO and GLO such as myself when i came to school, I frankly would not understand why i would be blasted away if i ask kindly to somebody was they are about. You do your research if you are truly interested in being a member but before that don't you need to figure out what the whole deal is about from the members. "
There's a very basic solution to this particular issue. On my campus, and many others I'm sure, we held Greek Forums where we gave basic information on all the greeks on campus like where and when the chapters and the organizations were founded, national and chapter projects. We do this specifically for those who know nothing about the greek system. In addition, basic information was given at various times during the year.
I see it like this, if you're interested in a BLGO and let's say the only events you've attended were step shows, and you DON'T know BASIC information, you need some help. I have yet to attend a show where every group stepping did not state the founding date or year, location of founding, number of founders, and/or summarize the organization's goals (NPHC peeps do you feel me?).
Those curious about the greek system and those considering pledging should take advantage of these venues, plain and simple. We don't organize these events for our personal benefit. This is not to say that if you chose not to that I will blow you off or respond to you unkindly. I will, however, strongly suggest you attend out next event.
I'm having a hard time believing that people are this thin-skinned and desire to be greek. If I took to heart every sideways response, every "not-so-nice" comment, every negative thing that has happened or was said to or around me because I'm greek, I'd either be in a mental hospital or 6 feet under. People, it is not that serious.
