The 'hate' on non-NPHC BGLOs is different than you describe. The question is that if someone is going to found a 'new' BGLO, at least be original...at least don't copy the very same things for which the NPHC orgs are being disparaged.
BTW, how old is the Christian GLO of which you spoke?

Well, mccoyred, as far as copying, I wouldn't worry about that, fake orgs will usually won't last long anyway. But I wonder how many NIC or NPC orgs hate on locals or new orgs because they are copying aspects of NIC/NPC orgs. I am trying to separate the substancial from the trivial.
As far as the Christian org's history, it was formed as a merger between two Christian fraternities, one founded in 1925, the other founded in 1936. The merger was formed in 1941 under a NPHC org's name. When this was found out, they changed the name in 1949. When I asked which year they recognized, they could not give an answer, probably because IMHO they do not get hung up on that aspect.
Hope this helps.
