Based on what Trevor Charles said, he has used Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority as a frame of reference but so did the sororities that came after Alpha Kappa Alpha and I am quite sure that this organization used the GLO's and other orgs. in the like as a frame of reference. I could imagine the comments that were made on white campuses when BGLO's began popping up. My question here is out of respect to what? I believe that the fact that Mr. Charles created his fraternity to serve the gay community in a positive way is respect enough.

What was so disturbing about my post? And what sense of elitism did you see flowing through it? All I was trying to say was or rather rationalize was why the need to use a majority of an organization's symbols for the last time I was stressing BE ORIGINAL. True other sororities that followed may have used AKA as a frame of reference but did they use a COMBINATION of AKA's colors, symbols, founding dates? No! Each organization has it's own separate identity. If your intent was to create an organization specific to "your kind" and set itself from aside from all others, why not be more original and create your own identity not emulate someone elses. Well, i'm done for now got better things to talk about! Bye everyone.
