On the topic of Groove Phi Groove, I will say that I was somewhat more enlightened by the posting of history.
What I still do not understand is this:
If your organization is so bent on seperating itself from being a "fraternity" or a "Greek-lettered" organization, then why have you adopted so many characterisitics of BGLO's? Line numbers? Line brothers? LINES?
It just seems to me that your org's entire premise was modeled after that of most BGLO's and then you turn around and talk about other cultures "stealing". Could it be said that you guys "stole" from BGLO's? I agree that much is derived from African culture, and yes, alot of it
was stolen. However, to separate yourselves from Greek orgs/ fraternities, all the while, modeling yourselves after them, sounds kinda like the same thing to me...
