I don't think that was the point that he was trying to make. There is a vast difference in being referred to as a historically ethnic group and being referred to as a fraternity or sorority. The latter terms generally defer more respect, because they allude to the fact that these groups are national, incororated entities and not merely groups of people who hang out on that campus. You understand, the connotation of the terms is very different. As far as being a BGLO or a GLO, that comparison is like comparing apples and oranges. The former is making light of something that many have worked very hard for over the years, while the later is making a distinction between groups that are equal in nature. There is no disrespect in these words. And I am feeling you on that Nupe4Life.
