I have no animosity towards WGLOs. My point is that we are not going to simply get rid of our organizations (organizations that have been powerful in our communities) just because we are now allowed in the others.
The name of my sorority is Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Where does that indicate race? I say again that the term BGLO is unofficial. That's all.
One of the reasons that BGLOs are under a different organization than WGLOs is because we simply do things different. Our 'rush' is different. Our primary focuses are different.
You don't think that 'minorities' are still discriminated against?
I, as a black person was a minority at my college. That is far more common, by the way. Whether we want to see it or not, in a way we are still segregated in many aspects of our lives. We still live in seperate communities, and tend to interact with people who are 'like us'. A significant amount of interaction is not going to simply happen overnight and it's definitely not going to happen by everyone getting into one big great group and singing.
I say again, we need to be 'educated' about each other, and that's the way to erradication. I interact with white people on a daily basis, as most minorities do. Have you ever met a black person whose first interaction with a white person was in college? I doubt it. However, I have met a white person who had never spoken to a black person until she had gotten to college. So I ask you again, What have you done personally? Going to an inner-city school doesn't count as trying to educate others about our differences.
