So Corbin, what would you like us to call orgs that are predominantly white? Should we just stick to calling a pre-dom. white greek org a GLO and then when we need to specify should we say BGLO, LGLO, MCGLO, AGLO, etc?
How can we solve this cuz it's getting to the point of craziness!!

Thanks for everyone who understood what I was saying and didn't get mad about it. Personally, I think GLO should be used to refer to all orgs, and when referring to a certain type, NIC, NPHC, NPC, local, etc. should be used. However, I don't really have a problem using the terms BGLO, LGLO, AGLO, as these orgs were formed to better the black, latino/a, asian, etc. communities. I'm not trying to be overly PC, in fact, if you know me, you'd know I'm not very PC at all, but I do respect those of different races, religions, etc. as long as they respect me. I just don't really like WGLO because regardless if people were/are racist, they weren't founded to help the "white community". This is my last post on the topic, as it's probably going to get out of hand, and I've tried to refrain from posting on the racial issues.
Back on the original topic. I understand if someone wants to use the grip on a daily basis, but I still see no need to when you KNOW someone is your brother. Maybe the grips you talk about are just that, a grip, and not a handshake with a series of steps. Enlighten us on that, if you want to/can. If it IS just a grip, like the Boy Scout grip, I can understand, as when I was an active Boy Scout, I did use it whenever I met someone else who was in the BSA.
