There needs to be BGLO's, just like there needs to be a Black Miss America pageant, just like there needs to be Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HCBU's), etc. We have to provide for OURSELVES what America has not provided for us. Plain and simple.
Does that help?

First of all, as I had said before, BGLO's rarely wear their letters. A lot of people didn't know we had them till we saw a list of Student Orgs. They are more than welcome to participate in Greek Week, but if we never see them around, how are we supposed to ask them? We don't know any of them and it's not like we are able to make the effort to. Parties are not just for Greeks. The fraternties on campus makes extremely large signs advertising their party, whether Alpha Kappa Alphas or Delta Sigma Thetas are there is beyond me. We will talk to anyone who will be social with us. Without that, we never know who they are.
As for black beauty pagents, there have been so many black miss teen usas. I see no discrimination there. Vanessa Williams, and there was a woman from Michigan a while ago who was crowned. I dont know now becuz I dont watch them anymore. I'm not saying do away with them, I just don't understand them.
