Anyway what I have noticed over the course of time that I have been coming in here and reading questions and responses, is that it seems like everything is privelged information when the bglo greeks respond. I mean I am not trying to be disrespectful but seriously why do yall even bother with a public forum if you can not tell anybody anything or if you do tell them somthing you just tell them to go and do your research. Geez, lighten up some. Yall make a brother scared to even ask a question!

Good Question, let me try to answer this. First of all this forum is not set up for the specific purpose of answering questions of interested people in our organizations. On the contarary it is set up to give greeks the opportunity to discuss different issues relevant to greek life, etc. John our administrator has been so kind as to have the Greek Life section set up to allow anyone with a question or comment to do so. However it does not mean that we as members are in any way obligated to answer your questions.
With regards to GLO's vs BGLO's and how and what they deem is secret, public, etc. etc. it is important to understand that they are different, with different standards, histories, traditions etc. so what is ok for one is not necessarily ok for the other, which is also true within each individual greek organization. We must respect each other's differences in how we run our organization and not pass judgement because we do not understand someone else's process.
I think that most, i say most, greeks on this board are happy to answer questions if they feel it will not compromise their sorority or fraternity. And its important that non greeks respect our right not to answer questions, which does not always happen, some act as if we own them something and we do not. So i would encourage you to ask questions, but by all means do research if you are truly interested on your campus and in your community and i'm sure you will find it more rewarding then what you will often get from here. I never used the net before and during my search for AKA. I knew i needed to go to the source so i built up my courage and i made it happen. I hope that helps from the mouth of a greek
good luck.
