Hello Big Crimsonguy as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. i believe that you know the answer to your question it is that which is closest to your heart. Hever if i were in your situation i would look at my motives for joining any greek letter organization. They all have different purposes and chapter characteristics vary from one chapter to another, your school's chapter may not be the best example of that particular organization. But if you really have a deep respect and interest in this BGLO then why not wait and join at the graduate level. I could have joined other sororities on my campus while AKA was off the yard but i did not want second best so i waited for what my heart really wanted and it was well worth the wait. Believe me you can still enjoy your college experience without being greek. Remember once you join another greek organization you can not join a BGLO later when you see a chapter that meets your expectations then it will be too late. Another option is that you could join the undergraduate chapter on your campus and help those brothers rebuild and strengthen their chapter instead of looking down on them, that is what true brotherhood is all about. It is easy to join what looks good but hardwork is the call of the BGLO because we are used to making what is not, WHAT IS. Our history is a history of perserverance not compromise. Don't compromise what you really want for the sake of being greek. Also why do you feel BGLO sorors would not attend parties at the white fraternity houses? Is your campus that racially divided? Why you would even consider joining a group where your own sisters would not feel welcomed is another issue all together. I think you need to ask yourself what is it that you really want. Do you want a life long brotherhood that is found across the country and the world or do you want a college experience that often ends at graduation. Think about it. Whatever your decision i wish you the best of luck in your greek endeavors.
