There's more to a fraternity than just stepping...

Is it ignorance if one is not informed? Is everyone not in a BGLO ignorant? I have seen Elephant Walk and others ask real questions in numerous threads that have gone unanswered.

Isn't that one of the definitions of ignorant? See the dictionary link above.

Then how can you throw it in a person's face that they are ignorant if they have tried and no one explains?

I asked a question a while back about predominantly white GLOs and I received an intelligent answer.

I'll be more than happy to try and answer any questions about predominantly BGLOs, if anyone is interested. Let's try and keep this thread positive since know one agreed to drop it.

When someone has genuine questions, they don't ask "what's this nonsense?" They've already dismissed it as "nonsense." So they and their after-the-fact "curiosity" can go to hell.

Like I said pages ago, if they want to know, they can search the info. Don't waste your time answering questions when NOTHING you type will ever be good enough. It will only spark a flame war, or whatever the hell people on GC call it. They've already started down that road.

Yeah, that makes sense. You're right.

Yes.

Yes--if you unaware of practices that are specific to BGLOs you are ignorant of them. That doesn't mean you HAVE to be aware of them. But if you are going to speak on something in a jestful or serious way, try to be informed or shut the hell up.

"Real questions" is based on perception. If they care so much, they can search the GC archives just like other people do when they have reoccuring questions.

We have. There are no answers for how this dancing ever involves anything their founders ideals. If you don't know, perhaps you are ignorant and should not be discussing in this thread.

[DSTCHAOS]

If people are asking about the origins of stepping and there aren't old threads on the topic, ASK ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF STEPPING or GOOGLE IT to find the hundreds of website links on the topic.

Quit with the insulting references to "founders' ideals" or whatever nonsense. You don't know anything about my Founders' ideals and BGLOs don't give a damn if we aren't in line with YOUR founders' ideals.

Unless your founders ideals are secret ritual, who are you to say that dancing is supose to have anything to do with the fraternity. In fact, here's the reason Delta Sigma Theta was founded as par their website:

The Sorority was founded in 1913 by 22 students at Howard University. These young women wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence; to provide scholarships; to provide support to the underserved; educate and stimulate participation in the establishment of positive public policy; and to highlight issues and provide solutions for problems in their communities.

Sounds like dancing was important in their ideals and mission.

Where are the "real questions?"

I don't think people read this the first time.

Elephant Walk, DSTChaos DOES NOT need you to tell her about Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the ideals and mission of the Sorority.

[Elephant Walk]

Apparently she doesn't know them, so I was just stating them.
