JMO. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, if you are inclined to share...

Letters are the outward and publicly shown representation of the core values that my organization (can't speak for others) holds dear and those values the core reason for its continued existence. I believe that is one thing that GLOs probably hold in common, but correct me if I am wrong on that point.
While there are some commonalities between them (social interaction, even if it isn't a specific focus; belonging) if the
differences were made more clear to potential new members of
any organization, and finding a
place to belong to was made to be the focus, I feel like situations such as these might become less frequent. Some people might belong to an NPC, or a Honorary or Circle K or Beta or the Ski Racers Club: but if students were reassured that "all organizations are different and one organization is not superior to another and there is not a place for everyone in every organization out there, but there
is a good place for you" who knows what help that might be in some small way.
I appreciate the good words from my sisters and members of GC and thank you all.
