So we had some really interesting frank discussions...
My question is, why is it so difficult to get the GLOs and the BGLOs together on anything? We used to try and get the BGLOs to join with us for various events, mixers, etc and it never happened. I would have loved the opportunity to learn more about the chapters and get to know some of the members.
Just a sideline, we had a really awesome girl who went through GLO rush and pledged XO.....just because she was black she took so much crap from a lot of other aa students (I don't know if they were bglos) that she dropped out. There were no other black girls coming through glo rush for a number of years, right now there is one black Delta Gamma who has stuck with it for the duration but that's it.

I like your post! You don't learn unless you ask! I can remember my freshman year, a couple of white girls (who are STILL my girls) sitting in my dorm room watching me do my hair. To say they were in awe is an understatement! To this day, I love our relationship because we can talk about ANYTHING, disagree, and still be the best of friends when it's all over! (Who's seen Remember the Titans??)
When I was in undergrad, there were a few Blacks in GLO's: 1 DG, 1 Phi Psi, 1 Beta Theta Pi, 1 Snake, and a Delta Sig. I don't think they received too much flack. To each his own.
