"perhaps we are asking the wrong questions..."
No one can say that one kind of Greek-lettered fraternity is better than another one- it all depends on your interests.
Historically Black Greek Organizations don't focus on color as opposed to other Greek organizations. Our organizations were founded in a time when there really was no other choice. Today, I personally see HGBLO's as testaments to African-American culture. The focus is not on one's skin color- all of our orgs have members of different shades, races, what have you. The difference is that HBGLO's focus more on the needs and concerns of peopole of African descent; and we celebrate US as people of African descent.
So in short, the premise of your question is incorrect. We do not focus on color while others do not- rather we are focused specifically on communities of African descent.
Does that answer your question?
