Tom,
I don't think that this thread was started as a way to create drama. The question that was asked was if any GLO's had any exclusively deaf chapters at any schools. There are alot of men and women out there that do not join GLO's, because they are deaf and don't think that they will belong or be welcomed because of the stereotyping that has been done against GLO's. So by different GLO's having deaf chapters or deaf members and talking about it, they are showing other organizations that we are not exclusive in our membership. My chapter doesn't have any members that are deaf just because of the population in general at my school is not very big (only about 12,000),but we do have non-traditional students that are sisters. I am very happy that DZ has a chapter at Galludet University. DZ could have just taken them on as their philanthropy and not allowed a chapter at the university, but by having a chapter there, DZ is helping to change the stereotype of all GLO's
