Well, that's not where I was going with that. LOL.
I think your approach is an excellent one. When we incorporate such an approach it is on a chapter basis, and not uniform across chapters, because the context doesn't always warrant that.
For instance, there are tons of chapters that exist on HBCUs so the exposure to nonBGLO fraternities and sororities would be limited to those orgs that have chapters at HBCUs, which only applies to a few fraternities and sororities.
