Is D.L. in a fraternity? Doubt it! And if he’s not, why did he agree to rep. something he knows little about. If he were a member of a GLO, he probably would have known better. He needs to be schooled.
I am so tired of the negative publicity that black GLOs get. This is one of the main reasons I'm not a spike lee fan. School Daze really put out some negative images of GLOs. Again, Spike Lee, another non-greek, made an entire movie with his limited knowledge. My experiences with members of this and other black GLOs have been inspirational and positive. They have earned my admiration and respect on so many levels. Members of black GLOs have the major responsibility of trying to live up to and excelling beyond the standards set by their founders. This can’t be easy.
Initiation is a major part of greek life and can be the determining factor of whether the individual will be active in an org. but pledging/paddling is not the beginning and ending of any frat.
One day, search the web for sorority jokes and I know you will feel my frustrations. The jokes all have a sexual tone that makes sorority girls seem stupid. Also, let’s not forget, black GLOs and white GLOs are TOTALLY different. I often hear my white coworkers talk about how they USE to be in a sorority in their prime. For the big 8 predominately black GLOs, we are talking about a lifetime commitment to that organization and the COMMUNITY.
My efforts to generate interest in GLOs in my school have been met with opposition from those tainted by the School Daze image of fraternities and sororities. DL’s commercial get's no love!
