I must say I am exremely proud of being part of a BGLO.
Yes a Black greek letter organization.
I am so tired that now that this country has decided or has been forced to decide to include Blacks in the collective of this country. That African-Americans all of a sudden have to drop the institutions they were forced to create to help themselves.
I don't think so. I am not going to change the legacy of my organizaiton because now America has decided to include me.
I personally would have only joined a BGLO. I want to be a part of an organization of women who understand the struggles I go through not only as a woman but as a Black woman. Can anyone say double whammy?
And we as African-Americans should not apologize for our institutions. All of you concerned Whites worried about separation and devisiveness. Why don't you focus your energy on making sure that this country lives up to its legacy of freedom and equal opportunity. SO that there won't be a further need for people of color to form their own organizations. If African-Americans could find affirmation and respect in predominately white organizations. There would be no need to ceate new ones.
