Please enlighten a fellow greek and reveal the number of LGOs that are currently around.
Do LGOs have graduate membership? I'm just wondering if they are like the D-9.

I'm only particularly familiar with Sigma Lambda Gamma and Sigma Lambda Beta and I know they have membership on graduate and honorary levels.

As far as I can tell, Lambda Theta Alpha Sorority and Lambda Theta Phi Fraternity both founded in 1975, are the oldest LGO orgs. In the book Black Greek101, our NPHC Alpha brother Walter Kimborough has another fraternity listed as being the oldest but I don’t have the book in front of me and can’t remember the name of it. Also, I don't know it said org is still active.
