Gina_Lynn - first - I was really glad to see your thread started in order to clarify this history. I've learned a great deal reading these posts and it was bothering me, after learning the history, to keep reading that the BGLOs were founded because their members had been excluded from other organizations.
I have an additional question - and excuse me if this sounds ignorant. Do you think that the organizations when they were founded (NPHC and NPC) were more similar in style, goals, etc. that perhaps they are today? (ex. the very formalized NPC rush vs. the NPHC process for offering membership) I'm guessing that in the early 1900s, sorority and fraternity rushes were a bit different than they are today.
