darrel rogers:
I agree with you in the fact that upon graduation, people are less likely to be concerned with what organization one affiliates with...character of the person is usually held in higher regards than the organization. I do have to disagree however in what you said about people you work with more than likely NOT being in an organization. It all depends on where you work and in which part of the country. I CAN'T remember which thread it was, but the questions came up as to why people in BGLO's always seem to be downing people in GLO's as to the longevity (lifetime vs. college ONLY) of their Greek affiliation. Someone pointed out that while a lot of people in GLOs often state that they were an XYZ in college, people in BGLOs RARELY, if EVER state similar comments. I say this to point out that where I work, which happens to be a community based organization, EVERY person in the office (Black) is affiliated with a BGLO. On top of that, they sport gear on the regular. Maybe not head to toe like a neo, but SOMETHING ususally dons the fraternity/sorority symbols...keychain, picture in the office, license plateframe, ring, class ring, charms on necklaces (elephants, etc.), checkbook...SOMETHING.
Just a note. Not to stir up any previous "mess" from this board, just wanted to make that point...but I do feel your other points
