In response to your question, I must confess, in the interest of fairness, I attended other GLOs interest meetings. My parents encouraged me to meet all of the girls who were members and all of the girls who wanted to be members. When I saw my future sorors of Prairie View A&M University at a step show in Austin, I knew then where my heart belonged.
Many young women don't have this experience. They pledge because their friends are doing it or their mother was a member of a particular GLO. If that's the case, it's better that they don't pledge and try to fill that void through other non-greek letter organizations on their campuses. Every member of every GLO should have a warm feeling in their hearts for their organization, not a feeling of I did this because it was expected of me.
