Ladies,
Maybe my question has not been correctly formulated because I am not asking for any secrets nor for a free pass into your organization. I was merely asking if there were things that you found disrespectful when coming from a non-member that you might be willing to share.

I HAVE been reading this forum for awhile and I have seen things that I would have never known...for example...one member posted that it is disrespectful to refer to your organization as a non member by just the Greek letters...one should use the full name. Maybe that is something I should have known but I didn't because a good majority of the world simply uses the letters.

There are things you may feel are common sense but common sense "ain't" so common. People come from different walks of life and therefore know different things. Not everyone may have access to an environment heavily populated with BGLO, or present at all for that matter, and therefore may not know some of these things. I was born and raised in a heavily Caucasian environment. I live in that environment. I work in the same type of environment and I went to college in the middle of corn country. Most of the people I encounter on a regular basis have never even heard the phrase divine nine. Everything that I know about your illustrious organization is due to independent research. I have made learning about it an independent study class for myself.

I have the utmost respect for your organization and history it was founded on. This is why I am even asking this question so as to make sure that I DON'T offend you or the organization you represent. If this is too much to ask then you are more than welcome to respectfully decline but please don't assume that because I asked the question that I am attempting to get anything for free. If allowed, I will earn my right and make my way just like I am sure you did/do as has every proud member before you..125% and more FOR SURE!
