First BGLO Probate
Let me start off by saying I am not a member of a BGLO, so what I have to say is purely from an outsiders somewhat naive point of view. Last semester I went to my first probate. I didn't know what to expect, but I got a small idea of what being a brother/sister of a BGLO means to them. About half-way through the probate a young man who looked to be about 20 or so broke down and started to cry. I wondered why he was crying so I talked to a family member who is a member of the same fraternity and he told me how much being a brother meant to him. I then began to understand why BGLO members speak with such pride when they describe their organizations. This young man had taken a major step in his life. He probably worked just as hard or harder for that than anything else he had done in his life. As his brothers from not only our campus but others as well made a circle around him and the rest of his line brothers and sang their fraternity song, I finally saw that being in a BGLO isn't just about stepping or wearing your letters, its about a bond you create and have for a lifetime, and even though I am not a member of a BGLO I was proud to witness that event.
