They come up spouting goals and aspirations with traditions that mimic those of D9 & then fade away soon after the first step show (if they were even allowed to participate). They ususally have step shows dissing other groups and while it may sound like a generalization 9 times out of 10 one of the founders was unable to make it into an NPHC org thus the "sudden need" for a new one on the yard.

My apologies if what you just said is the case; however, that was NEVER made clear in the initial post or with subsequent posts; thus you had to read into what the original poster was trying to convey. In other words, the thread started with, "Look at these new GLOs starting up; whaddya think?", the initial responses went along the lines of, "Why everythang gotta be a Greek letter sorority?" I was responding along the general vibe(s) the thread originally conveyed. Skeephistakate's post on new orgs starting and fading w/in one to two years was the first post that even remotely touched upon what you are saying here. So even now I am not 100% sure that that was the general message the original poster was trying to convey, but for the sake of peace in this thread, I will take your word for it.

We can only judge peoples organizations by what they put out there - copying artwork and mimicing signs doesn't say much about their original vision. What happened to their alumnae outreach? Shouldn't they be developing other ave's for members to stay active after graduation? They were so dedicated that they let the organization die after 2-3 years?
If you must copy then copy a successful program and make it work in your area-earn respect by your deeds-don't expect it from a fly website or bootleg nalia.

If this is the true spirit of the thread, I have a question: What "new" GLOs do you know (other than Xi Gamma Phi) have sprouted up and died w/in, say 5 years? IMHO responses of this nature will give those who dissent of these new GLOs more merit with their views and give this thread a better sense of direction as far as the overall messages being conveyed.
