Many stereotypes began on the premise of ignorance and are further perpetuated by the same. Yes BGLOs, such as Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., have traditional characteristics that are unique and positive as well as stereotypes based on nonsense. When a person joins any organization, specifically NPHC, only they know the reasons they join, but assimilation and conforming because of a change in affiliation are to be expected.
Why do people change for the worse? Who knows, but it happens occassionally. People seeking membership (and members) should be strong individually and have a sense of who they are in absence of the letters and colors. All members of BGLOs (hopefully all financial and actively supporting your organization)should strive to uphold your orgs founding princples and let everything else fall where it will.
