Not to mention the fact that the fun members of professional/service/honor societies at HBCUs are people who either think they're in a social GLO or actually hold dual membership in a social GLO.
I was in a professional business fraternity in college, and our social events were fun for what they were. Its hard to describe, but we had Barn Dances, Formals, Bar crawls, pledge parties, etc. They didn't compare to BGLO or Black Student Union parties, but since they were in a whole different category, then I never tried to compare them. We did have pledge families (moms and dads), but I don't think that anybody ever confused it with a social organization or took it to be more than what it was.
