For BGLO aspirants

[Senusret I]

I am saying this as Senusret I, man on the street, and not a member of any particular organization or coordinating body:

If, on your own, you cannot afford the cost of a spring initiation, annual dues (in the fall), a regional and/or national convention in the spring and/or summer, a black suit (for guys), and neutral, black, and white suits (for the dames), then you are not ready to join a BGLO.

It's expensive. This is not a lifestyle for those of you hanging in the chow line.

The end.

Ain't we lucky we got SenusretI!

Good Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimes!

I never noticed that "Welcome to the Sugar Shack" banner at the top of that painting. The Sugar Shack is a strip club in Clarion, PA. OK I'm done.

I have two suits, neither of which I've worn since I've been working.

I'm like, maybe I should buy another one, but why?

For the NPHC, (generally) when you attend your meetings, especially the regional and boule', you are expected to attend those business meetings in the appropriate color suit.

So, for SGR, when we go to our regionals and boule', the attire for the business meetings is a royal blue suit, unless we are participating in certain rituals.

Really? You mandate color for plenaries?

Royal blue and/or gold although neutral colors (black) is accepted as an alternative (however this can be frowned upon by some seasoned sorors). Most wear royal blue suits.

Yes.

That`s definitely a factor.
