I agree.

I only used the BGLO disclaimer to discuss the culture of graduates who influence chapters and to spare people from saying "but you're NPHC...."

In other words, even in GLOs with traditions of influential graduates, SOME chapters know when and how to tell the graduates to go to hell and they don't need national news and school intervention. They handle it within the chapter and within the GLO if it goes beyond the chapter.

The chapters in this news story need to learn how to handle business (probably before seeking new members) and I still am not convinced (not like my opinion matters) that this 100% the alumnae. Some of it but I wouldn't be shocked if they were used as a scapegoat.

Yes to all of this.
