You can't really roll your eyes on that. I barely knew anything about any type of Greek organization before I joined Phi Mu. Our campus is a small commuter campus, so Greek life isn't huge and non-Greeks don't know much about us. I wouldn't be surprised that many of our Greeks didn't know that historically Black GLOs are not only for African Americans. Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha are on our campus (I think Delta Sigma Theta and Sigma Gamma Rho? are too but I'm not sure), but they are never around and only sometimes have booths up at Student Org day, so many people don't even know they exist on our campus. I know they are, but I've never seen them try to recruit non-African American students, so if I hadn't learned this on Greek Chat, I never would have known.

Please don't be surprised or disgusted with things that we do not know. The thing is to educate us if you want us to know, let people know what you're about. It's the same with any kind of Greek member, if a GDI doesn't know what sororities or fraternities are about, we tell them. We don't roll our eyes, because that would just add to the negative perception of us. (not saying that there is a negative perception coming from me, just people in general)
