Maybe it's because whenever you hear of "white" glos it always involves weird sexual or alcohol stuff as opposed to black fraternities where you think of violence.

If you re-read my post, you will see why it is necessary to fight off those views; it's called education. Everything is not about just ME. I can't call someone ignorant if I am not willing to educate that person. But you know what? Instead of fighting off those views, I'd rather perpetuate some stereotypes of my own. Maybe you'd like that better? Because apparently standing up for myself, my organization, and organizations like mine makes you uncomforatable. At least that is MY perception.
So, forcing someone to drink and then leaving them with alcohol poisoning for dead is not violent? And neither is rape? That's "weird...stuff?" But with BGLOs it's violence? That's an interesting concept. And now I'm to believe that White GLOs don't have "violent" hazing? Because I went to a university where they did, males and females. I have a very CLOSE friend who actually won a lawsuit against a White GLO at my university for the very thing that is associated with BGLOs: paddling. And afterwards she was continually threatened whenever she came to campus to visit (because the experience was so bad for her she ended up transferring). That's just weird stuff, though, right?
ETA: You know what? It's topics like these that keep me out of the general forums. No one wants to deal with the ignorance that lurks around here. I think I'll stick to my regular posting patterns from now on.
