BGLO and Other GLO Relations on YOUR Campus?

[gee_ess]

The issue, Elephant Walk, and I am going to step into this because you are a fellow razorback and I want to help you, is that you always present your opinions and arguments as if they are the last, final word on the subject.
Your comments rarely leave room for the option of something different occurring on your campus or within your chapter when common sense says that your experience is not the only way.
I happen to know that the relations between the GLO's and BGLO's are positive (you mentioned the step show, but totally ignored explaining to others online what a big event that is, how it involves the entire Greek community and goes a long way in providing opportunities for the groups to cooperate and interact.) No, the groups do not socialize together but they have different interests (as you mentioned) That doesn't make it a negative situation and that is what your comments implied.
You need to remember who and what you are representing. You tend to pigeonhole and stereotype so many topics that I am often frustrated with your narrow viewpoints that are stated as the absolute law because I KNOW that is not true on your campus.
Yes, you are entitled to your viewpoints, but I just want you to represent yourself (and the U of A) better. Sorry for giving you a "mom lecture, but it was time.

So the groups don't communicate with each other, do programs beyond the step show, etc.?

Sometimes campuses don't have joint NPHC-IFC-NPC interactions but instead there are specific organizations whose members have bonded personally and based on common interests.

While NPHC organizations were founded to uplift the minority communities, our interests do not end there. Our national and local initiatives and other issues are shared with other organizations, which is why organizations who wish to do so can connect. I find that people do not connect for personal reasons and because they are stuck on comfort levels and assumptions. And also NPHC fraternities and sororities tend to do programs with each other so it takes a change of ideas to get other types of collaborations to be accepted.

That's completely wrong.

I usually qualify it by saying "in my experience", if you'll read. I don't pretend like what I say is hard and fast the truth. It's my experience with the subject, as is everyone elses on the subject. My comments didn't imply anything of a negative experience. In fact, the only interaction I mentioned was positive. Otherwise, there is no interaction, so it's neutral.

Please read for once.
