All of the organizations have excluded some people they probably shouldn't have and they still are. They don't have to explain their reasons for doing so. Why? Because membership has its privileges, or so I've heard. Membership can be denied for any reason, or so I've heard. Any reason can and does include, not being a member of the "right" race, skin color being too dark, etc.
I have seen chapters of certain organizations where all the members are redbone with long hair. Do you think this is a coincidence? Do you think the members represent the look of the student body at large? Do you think that all the women that showed up at rush/tea/informational just happened to all look the same? That all the dark-skinned women just decided to stay home that day? I don't. The fact is, there are some members in ALL organizations doing some dirt. That's why GLOs continue to bring negative media attention upon themselves. If it's not turning nappy headed girls away from debutante balls, it's hazing incidents. Even "our" media has little positive to say about BGLOs. What did IotaNet say about BGLOs not having the panache they once did?
I know this is falling on deaf ears, so I'm finished.

Why would a black person join a "WGLO" or vice versa? The answer is simple, people join organizations and hang around people that they can relate to, regardless of color. For example, if a black person grew up in a white neighborhood or vice versa.
