Theta Sig,
I appreciate what you are trying to say, but from the perspective of organizations that are not only socially based but focus on uplifting and bettering the community, I feel that GLO's are beneficial, by that I mean that from my perspective being a minority there are issues that are unique to my particular ethnicity and culture, and my community, that a "mainstream" mindset would not know about or think to address, having positive role models in the community banded together and taking action to help make a difference is what I am talking about. It is from my heart, and seeing the suffering of my people and feeling the challenges and struggles that are faced everyday by our community that I feel the opportunity to serve in such a capacity is a responsibility and a given. I'm not really addressing those of you that are greek for the mainly social aspect of being in an org, not that there is anything wrong with that (in my seinfeld voice), but I am talking about being in the position to elicit positive change within your community (ethnic or otherwise, love to all people) and doing so. I'm hoping this is coming across as I intend it, in only the very best way. (by the way, most ethnic (Asian, Hispanic, etc.) GLO's are local's or not affiliated with an umbrella group or larger agency for lack of a better term, to my knowledge, and are not part of the NPC or NPHC.)
