Ok...OK...where do I even begin?
First, let me start by stating that I am not a member of any BGLO.
(Y'all I can't even breathe I want to get at this so bad!)
Now, as far as the original question goes, I will not...COULD NOT address this particular issue because, as I stated, I am not a member of a Greek organization, therefore I am not ignorant or pompous enough to debate a topic of which I have no actual knowledge/experience of....especially not with members who do.
With that said, my intention is not to debate MIP vs. Pledge Process. It is, however, to address Blonde1. As we are all entitled to our opinions (Hell, even if we weren't I would have stated mine anyway)...I just had to make a few comments to you.
I think your comments to/about black fraternities and their members who are representing in this thread are arrogant, rude and to say the least very unnecessary. Your attempts at being sarcastic and leveling what you, alone, deem as humor toward the different terms they use within their orgs. is highly tacky.
I applaud the men from the various BGLOs who have responded to your posts with respect, eloquence, and dignity because had it been me (and No, it's not me)...but had it been me I wouldn't be explaining what or why my organization does/doesn't... says/doesn't say whatever it is that you are trying to be a smart alleck about by asking/saying all it is that you're saying.
Oh, and news flash dear: Having talked to "one or two members of a black sorority/fraternity" does not give you any special authority to go around speaking upon BGLO issues! Actually, chatting with 2 or 3 members helps you to understand about the goings on of BGLOs just as much as I can learn about and cockily debate upon "pastoralization" from speaking with one or two people who majored in Anthropology....not too dam much Blonde1...Not too dam much!
Lastly, I have stated my opinions/thoughts/ideas as you have yours... in a careless, not-so-nice-manner...and with that being said and done I will take leave from this board. You can respond anyway you choose, if at all, but I do not wish to discuss this any further. Have a pleasant evening.
