you are right, racism does not benifit anyone. I wish to God that there wasn't such a thing. This whole discussion is why! I believe in equality for the sexes, different races, different religions, etc. I believe that everyone should have a fighting chance in this nation. Like I stated before, I don't want to argue, and I don't want to see anyone else argue. But everyone, step back from your soap boxes for a minute and look at what you are writing! After all this talk about racism and equil rights--shouldn't we as greeks be standing together as greeks? Not as separate orginizations. We basically have the same goals--to make this world and country a better place. Stop fight about what is right and what is wrong and what you see and what you don't see. I have been blessed or cursed (I can't decide) with the ability to step back from every situation that come upon me and look at every side. I see everyone's points. Why don't you step back and try to look from the others eyes? Try to see what they see. It is important to understand each other in order for us to unite. Stop fighting and work together!
Scott, if you see a double standard in society, that is your beef with society. If you see it with a BGLO, the people you are talking to are the wrong people! Take it up with the founders. These people are members of an orginization that they believe in, just like you. Hate to say it, but do you think that the founding fathers of MOST GLO's would have let people from different races in their fraternities or sororities? Not in the early 1900's. Most of the GLO's founders were probably racist to some degree. I'm white and I am willing to admit that. Your fraternity, I hate to say, is not in the majority. Most GLO's are predominantly white. At my old school, we didn't have a single person in any sorority that was not white (that I can remember). We were a small predominantly white school, but there were no BGLO's at all and we did have people from all walks of life on our campus. GLO's have worked to change this around the world and country. But in all actuality, most GLO's have no room to talk.
