Now YOUNG LADY I don't recall asking for an apology I just wanted to inform/educate you on the organization. If the organization is new in your area then that should have been stated when you said new and compared it with Iota Phi Theeta what other conclusion should I have drawn....and if you want to apologise that's fine but I doubt that putting "oh well" at the end consitutes a real apology.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY

I heard the some of the founding members of SGRho were white. Is this true?

Just teasing. Have a good one!

No they were not white. I am proud of the fact that my Founders started a black sorority on a white campus. Most proud. I remember very well when I was an undergrad in the mid-80's at a white university and how hard it was at times to have any kind of "black" meeting without everyone wanting to know what we were up to. To Ms. Alpha Chi I am very informed of your organization, please take the time to do the research on mine. How can anything be new when it was formed in 1922?

I read the Divine Nine and can say that there are some errors with regard to my sorority but I still think he did a good job as far as informing someone who may not know anything about BGLOs.

BE POSITIVE!!!

Also for those of you who don't know, I wouldn't consider Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. as "new" either. It is the year 2000. The fraternity is over 40 years old.

I think that the reference to SGRho + the Iota's being "new" was in relation to the other BGLO's. (SGRho is the newest of the sororities and Iota is the newest of the fraternities.) No, they're not new, but I don't think anyone meant to disrespect these orgs, either.

On a positive note, I hope the 2cnd edition has some of (if not all) those errors corrected. I'm gonna wait for it before reading. So I'm glad that there's another one on the way!

They're not quite 40 yet. They were founded in 1963.

BlueReign-

AlphaChiGirl IS trying to educate herself about the BGLOs. So don't get mad if she doesn't know everything yet.

And as far as who's considered new and who's not...I've always considered any group founded after my own "new".

So that means I consider Alpha Chi "new".

Of course I know it's not actually new, but that's just the reaction I've had to younger groups.

Here's my question: How new does a group have to be to be new?

By the way, I'm not trying to tick anyone off. I'm just callin' it how I see it.

[AlphaChiGirl]

SoCalGirl--

Thanks. Like you, I do consider any organization founded after my own "new" (especially if it was founded 50 or years later). So, what's your sorority? Since it was founded before 1885, I think I have an idea. :-)

I think she realizes she made a MISTAKE - it does happen, and to me, this is why there is so much negativity on this board. Why can't people just say "oh yeah blahblahblah was incorrect, it should be yaddayaddayadda" - why does everything have to be "To Ms." this, or whatever! People need to act like they have some sense! BlueReign, as a moderator, I would expect a better attitude towards the people that contribute to this board! Would you want someone to call you out on a mistake (or do you not make any?) like this? DO UNTO OTHERS.....

[BlueReign]

To Peace, I guess I do owe the young lady an apology. Sorry. And thanks Peace for putting me in my place

BlueReign - Thank you for your reply to my post...I do not feel as though I was putting you in your place, just trying to keep things positive. It shows great character that you could apologize gracefully! More should have your style! PEACE!

Back to the original topic ....

I'm sure some will say I'm biased, but I have to give Bro. Ross props for doing something that has never been done before. Bottom line. There is NO way that all 9 orgnanizations would have been pleased even if he interviewed every living member of every single organizations. People are going to complain regardless. People who are accusing him of being biased, can you please provide some examples?
