OK.. wait! It seems that many of us are being swayed by our own propoganda! Hello!!!
Aren't we taking ourselves a little to seriously???
First, let's all remember that every single fraternity and sorority out there is two things: 1) exclusive and 2)social. Somewhere, someone got his/her friends together to form a club, that only certain people could join after passing certain tests. Sure, most of our founders had loftier principles they wanted espoused, but let's not get so high and mighty to think that's all our organizations are about. BGLOs were formed to fill a SOCIAL void. Something was missing socially in their lives. Hey, there were plenty of civic organizations they could have joined to strengthen their communities, but they chose to form GLOs instead. Sure...this idea is not NUMBER ONE in our organizations' mission list, but it's there. Remember the "Sisterhood...Brotherhood" ideals????
My sorority means the world to me. It always will, BUT I'm not dilluded enough to think it is the "end all, be all" nor was it founded to be so. Anyone who thinks that needs to get a life! (or at least get into the real world)
