I guess i'll give my two cents on this matter. I will say that as far as Delta was concerned, we were not founded b/c we couldn't join other GLO's. My founders saw a need for change in the African-American community pertaining to the treatment of Blacks during that time. They journeyed on quest to conquer social injustice for the Black people. Their main goals were not to just start an organization just to fit into the GLO's organizations and/or standards, but wanted to make a difference and a change in they way of life for Blacks. I seriously doubt that they were concerned with being a part of a GLO just because it was "cute.". I suggest reading "In Search of Sisterhood" by Paula Giddings for littler more clarification on this matter.
