Peace & Blessings to all
Whew..this conversation has gone quite the distance!
L-Dawg, let me say that I understand and respect your opinion and comment towards tbe reference to the "B" in BGLO. From my perspective, I am the Director of Media & Public Relations for the Atlantic Region of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
As I have served in this capacity, I am often confronted with the question of, "What school are you from?" "Didn't you finish with that Sorority-stuff in college?" "Are you still in college?" My point is that the simplest way to answer these questions is that the Black Greek lettered Organizations do not function in the same manner that other organizations do. I choose my words very carefully, as I am an official representative/spokeswoman for my Sorority.
So, again, I understand where you're coming from, I don't agree with it but I respect it.
We are unified and we will continue to serve our communities, the same way we have been doing for decades. And, as far as animosity goes for non-Black Greek lettered organizations, I feel secure in saying that neither my Sorority or Brother Fraternity has any ill feelings toward them. Afterall, that's why we started our own.
