Who is battling? All I have seen in this thread is a bunch of folks expressing their different opinions. No movements to block the way of these orgs, no plan a foot to keep them down. If I want to say that most of the ones I see are silly to me, seem fly by night and few show any long term sustainability because once their so called founders graduate the chapter is done- that is my opinion. Just because that opinion ruffles some feathers hardly makes it a battle. In reality, even those who have expressed some mild opposition give these groups little thought and are only talking about them because that was the topic of the thread. Let's not over dramatize the situation- kay?
I do have a great deal of respect for those orgs who have been able to sustain themselves over time and develop a mission and goal they adhere to. I think that when the common theme is uplifting the community people are sometimes too quick to reinvent the wheel just to say they did rather than join an existing group. Not that there is not room for others. There certainly is. I am just reserved in my assessment of a group until I can see what they are really about. And that is not just Af Am orgs. I feel the same about LGLO, MCGLO’s etc. I have a great deal of respect for the men of Lambda Upsilon Lambda, probably because they were founded at my alma mater and I got to see them in action and what they were about first hand for 4 years. (as an example)
