Most of this stuff seems like common knowledge to a any BGLO member and others who are surrounded by it, but it might take a lot more for someone else to get it. It's easy to huff and puff and give the "do your research" command, but at first glance im pretty sure alot of ppl are gonna ask questions that they dont see anything wrong with asking. If you have been in XYZ for 15 years, im sure you are TIRED of hearing these same questiong, but if I'm a freshman in college who has just witnessed a probate, should you really bark on me for asking certain questions?

You raise some good points. As a member of a BGLO, I do not fault non-members for not knowing for example, the Greek Alphabet on command. However, I do have a slight problem when people..ahem..excuse me, COLLEGE students who are interested in a BGLO at a COLLEGE say things as ignorantly as the above did. Why the slight problem? Because they should have done enough research about their organization of interest and NPHCs in general to know the basics of what is accepted and what is not..I mean afterall, they DID come to a forum about BGLO
