The answer is yes. The lack of a direct response answers the question for us.

It's important for aspirants to know the true origins of the organizations they are pursuing...and to be ok with it. Gamma Beta Chi is not the first organization to be outed on Greek Chat. There's was this sorority...what was its name ()...at UC-Berkeley that lied to its aspirants about its true origins.

You're in good company!

LOL

You nor your buddies are in any way, shape, form or fashion interested in membership. So spare me.

Your correct about the aspirant comment, though. And when any aspirant, respectfully, asks questions about GBX, I and any brother will be more than happy to answer their questions.

Well dang. Maybe I did want to join, but I sure don't want to now.

Hey ... although I'm certainly not interested in membership with your organization, I though my question about your founders was very respectful. Now, If you can just hold up your end of the barging and happily answer this question, I'd personally like to learn more about your organization, including information about your foundations. Just be honest and forthright about your group's beginnings. If you are really so proud, please let us share in your joy for your fraternal organization.

Okay but other than giving three last names (Johnekins, Robinson and Williams), your organizations website is a bit lacking in founding information other than to say that they splintered off from other groups. I guess I’d like to know more about the gentlemen that founded your organization (where they were from, what were their prior affiliations, what was their educational/occupational background, are they still active founders of your group or have they since passed, etc.). I would hope that you might enlighten all of GC with this same information. I don’t think that anyone here means any harm but would genuinely like to learn more about your group.

That may be so. But I, seriously, doubt if certain comments are truly geared towards learning about GBX.

Going through the threads, no one became hostile until you began giving a cryptic history. If it's information you don't want shared, say that. If it's public information, say that. Don't rub people the wrong way and expect everyone to back off.
