In the just post WWII times, these people who came back from the war were boys who became men.

I am sure that when they came back they were used to the rigors of military life and the hazing that went along with it or some said, "hell from I/We have seen no one lays a paddle on me".

So, because of that and the GI bill, they could go to college and joined GLOs to feel the same closeness they had in the military.

Granted the white/christian clause was in effect because those were the times that they lived in and Truman broke the color barrier in the military but, not the colleges or any public schools.

In 1965, Kansas, decided to not allow any new chapters of GLOs in the State Colleges that had such a clause. I do not know if they were the first one, but, they were at the fore front of the times. Of course, that did not change the mind set of the current chapters and members.

We cannot change history so why say it has to be changed?

BGLOs came about for this reason, but now there is assimilation into "all" GLOs, supposedly.

Who or what GLOs are more prejiduce?
