We have had more than enough people who have tried to figure out 'just exactly who am I' because I was in a different org.

We have in many ways have earned respect

We have in many ways have bonded with others in other frats and sororities because they have looked past the colors and letters see that we all are working our way towards the same goals.

People believe that if you join a 'newer GLO' you weren't good enough to join the older more established orgs. That is not the case. A lot of us that have started / joined newer orgs prefer the alternative vs the obvious.

Prefer to create unique traditions rather that be another name in an ever evolving one.

Some of us are just happy to be around like minded folk who are simply looking to making thier corner of world a better place......

So...what is your story?

I can identify with some of your statements. As a member of Sigma Gamma Rho I am have been asked the same questions, given funny stares, etc. about why I didn't join one of the more well-known sororities. I don't explain myself anymore simply because I don't have to. I know who I am.

So, I am here to say to you: will you please get off this forum, stop asking questions and stop explaining yourself. By doing this you are losing the respect I am sure your organization deserves.

I see from your location you are practically in my back yard. There is work to be done in central Prince Georges County. Please find the niche and fill the need. Your colors are almost identical to Kenmoor Middle and Charles Herbert Flowers High. What a coincidence!! Both schools could use male mentors. The schools' population draws from Landover and Glenarden and I'm sure you are aware of the problems we have in these communities. I have sons at both schools who could benefit as well. I'd be willing to help you also.

I checked out your website. If you want to grow and gain respect then take me seriously, be about service and scholarship, and most of all get off of this forum cause your approach is all wrong.

If I sound harsh, sorry. That's just me.
