The thread was hijacked loong ago

I think this topic isn't at all bad to discuss.

I don't think HWGLO is something that describes an organization RIGHT NOW. It is misleading. We are comprised of more than white folks. It is still a small percentage but the percentage is growing.

Am I trying to rewrite history? Nope.

I even acknowledged that my fraternity didn't allow blacks in until 1969 (passed by 1 vote).

I'm simply stating that if we fall into calling our GLO's one race or another (unless we are specifically created and still operate for the betterment of a certain culture or people) is wrong, it gives the wrong impression.

Most fraternities and sororities operate for the betterment of ALL people. In Sigma Nu for example our virtues of Love, Honor and Truth are certainly not racially bound.

We don't refer to certain restaurants as "historically segregated". Why label our own organizations as such? It misses the point of what we're all about. Brotherhood (or sisterhood) should know no race.
