That's possible...

Though this is an issue that is deeply personal to the Greeks, it reflects a larger problem and that is that the entire Afro-American community is being used here (again). A better question would have been "Are you considering going to graduate school?" In fact, with the educational challenges we face, they should have simply asked “Are you considering going to college?” along with a prepared list of Do's and Don'ts that advise high school aged kids on how to get into and GRADUATE from a four-year university. This is BET, though, and its grip on what is going on in the black community has long since slipped away. Anything about black America that can be made profitable for them is used; they do it with BGLOs just as they do with HBCUs, not to mention our music, food, faith, and femininity as women. Your organizations can sue, and perhaps our universities too, but unfortunately virtually everything else remains vulnerable to defamation, misrepresentation and commercialization.

Well, I don't have an Afro, my husband has one--more like a shag, but I use Design relaxer, it is a preference.

You are right on the rest of the bolded. Most of the Divine 9's icons are trademarked and require requests to use them outside beyond the membership. And since BET is using the incorrect icons, symbols and likened images regarding our organizations, they could have requested by our International Bodies, HQ, and NPHC representatives to ASK our permission to discuss anything related to membership.

The issue is how does one who is totally clueless pursue an alternative to recruitment based GLO for the NPHC? I think that kind discussion will arise separately with some level of transparency overtime. But for now, it is each individual organization's mandates per their website and other public documents.

All I can say is that it was a lot harder when I joined my Sorority than it is now...

Not for nothing, I sort of appreciate this, at least they won't be totally clueless when they walk through the door....oh the stories I could tell.

Thou shalt continually study all aspects of sorority life prior to membership!

Thou shalt strive to be of like mind...never exhibiting considerations deeper than those whom thou seeketh to emulate.
