I think that if you promote your orgs, and have been doing so all along, then nobody is going to change their whole opinion based on one movie. Don't get me wrong, I certainly understand why some orgs would choose to boycott, but one movie shouldn't undo years of history in anyone's mind.

Many people are attracted to the things that seem entertaining. Just like other GLOers who identify with Greek Week and fraternity parties but not service and scholarship. I believe this is just more salient for BGLOs due to the history of media misrepresentation that blacks have had in this country, as well as what BGLOs were founded to represent.
My understanding is that the formal boycott is really about the unauthorized use of letters and not about people's perceptions of us. I understood the informal boycott to be about people's perceptions of us based on the movie.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
