It's not like cancer affects only one racial group.
And I'm going to sound even more ignorent than I already do, but - what does "nupe" and "sands" and "line" and "crossing-over" (I'm sure there are others but I can't remember) mean?? If this is secret, I don't want to know. I just want some frame of reference so I can follow y'alls conversations.

Well, can't comment on why BGLO/GLO don't work together as I went to an HBCU.
Anyway, I don't know if other members of BGLOs will agree, but BGLOs do not consider themselves social organizations. They are more community service based organizations. But of course there are the social aspects of it, i.e. sister/brotherhood, etc. But IOTANet has a great explanation so if you haven't read it yet, you should because it will help.
Before Greekchat, I didn't know of other meaning of "sands". I only knew of "sands" meaning the people who pledged the same semester (ex. DST Spring '99 & APhiA Spring '99). Interesting!!
Now I may sound ignorant as well but I have some questions about non-BGLO, as I don't know too much about them. BGLOs usually have names of "lines", i.e. (this is a fake one) 20 Dynamic Divas of DST. And then each pledgee will have a number between 1 and 20. So what are non-BGLO pledge classes like?
