I love this thread! It is such an inspiration to see so many success stories and the stories of persistence also. I knew nothing of BGLOs before I started college as neither of my parents went to a university. I started my collegiate experience at one school and I was impressed at a particular sorority's involvement on campus. I went to many programs, not because I was seeking membership but because I was genuinely interested in what they were talking about. Once I started thinking about joining a BGLO I knew that this organization was the only one for me. Unfortunately I wasn't as focused as I should have been while at that school and I was an out of state student so tuition was killing me. I had to take a semester off and I switched schools.
Now I am at an HBCU, whereas I was at an PWI before so I have seen both sides. I'm not sure I see as much involvement of my desired organization here as I did there, but I think the difference is that it was more... important for lack of a better word at the PWI. Now I have Drastically improved my GPA, gotten involved in a radio reading service on campus and I also plan to join the student government. This organization is still the only one that is in my heart, as I have studied the history and it speaks to me, and so I pray that when next spring comes I will have finally reached my highest potential and will be able to join the ranks of the best!!
Thanks again sisterfriends for support and inspiration
