Okay, I think we are seriously need to take a breath before someone gets hurt (LOL). First of all, everyone is entitled to their own opinions on everything. As auakl said, we "have to agree to disagree," which is the foundation in ANY discussion.

I'm kinda gonna do a lil devil's advocate over here and try to point things out objectively. Now, bout that NPC frat that dressed as Ques. Well there are 2 outlooks on that. One, they were just caught up in the Halloween fun and were being ignorant to PC. Or two, they were just being stupid.... I'm strongly leanin to the latter simply because it's plain disrespectful to sport letters of another GLO without permission, especially if you're going to add props that recall violent times in their history (i.e. the lynching props). I admit that I was upset when I heard this story, for I thought that their actions were going to reflect back to every WGLO, and I'm sad to say that ppl have taken it like that, rather than blaming the fault on just the individuals.

As for Ms. Twilley, is it really difficult to conclude that she might not have gotten along with the sisters? Granted, racism does exist and I'm not denying it. Everyone experiences bigotry, racism and stereotype at one point in their lives, but it is in not following those exemplifying those negative concepts can one truly end this nature of cyclic hatred.

Yet, I know that being a Filipina who strongly considered going into an NPHC sorority but went to an NPC sorority instead, that there are MAJOR differences in the voting/selection process. I know that during rush/recruitment, sisters are asked to consider not only the grades, accomplishments, etc, but they are also asked whether or not one would be proud to call the rushee a sister. As much as there are those standard requisites, there is still in consideration the person's attitude and behavior. And to be quite frank, we can't sit here and make speculations on why she wasn't accepted, it only adds to the propaganda that's already being circulated about her as well as the fact that it's adding to the concept that ALL WGLOs won't accept anyone but whites.

I know that I am fortunate that the "WGLO" that I'm in is not a strict "WGLO" -- as one, I'm in it; secondly, my little sister (who's a beautiful black woman if I might add) is in it; third, my big sister (who's indian and lovely) is in it; and finally, there is a diverse body of almost ALL races in my sorority, specifically my chapter.

Yet, who knows what really went down in that voting process? The important thing is that Ms. Twilley has found her niche and found the place that accepts her and she is happy with. Whether it is BGLO, MGLO, or WGLO, as long as the bonds exist and differences are respected where one is at is what's important.
