HoneyKiss, I agree with you, but at the same time, I don't think that she is doing it just to join something. I think that she wants notoriety. I know that BGLOs are not for everyone, but what in the world can a WGLO offer you? I am in NO way trying to downplay WGLOs, however, from the members of NPC orgs. that I know, they don't have much to offer.

At my undergrad, a few of "us" tried to rush just to see if we would get in, but of course, were politely turned down. It wasn't so much as to really get in, but just to see if they would accept us. There is a certain "legacy" (for lack of a better word) about being the first A-A to break down barriers.

Of course, the situation is sad for the person that really feels that they would fit in or that a WGLO is "better suited" for them because it really is blatant discrimination. However, I know the blood, sweat, and tears that went into the D9 orgs. being set up By US, For US. If one can't find what they are looking for within one of those orgs., then maybe they are looking for the wrong thing... (with exception to multi-cultural orgs., but you all know what I mean!)
