Also, who said that any one was having emergency meetings about not having more minority members? I also didn't hear any one saying they were hurting for members, either--I know my own organization has over 180,000 members.

I am not speaking for my entire GLO, I am only stating my own opinion--I wish that some of the women I knew in college would have joined my organization despite it's not being a traditionally "Black" GLO.

That's cute, but there's a lot more to being devoted to uplifting the African-American community than giving kids the "stay in school" speech.
