For some blacks on our campus, there's enormous pressure to join HBGLO's vs. groups such as mine. I say some because it seems it depends on what social groups they move in. Those that live in one particular dorm seem to feel that pressure more than others because many BHGLO members also reside there.

One of the guys I went to school with would have probably joined Sigma Nu, however, he told me he couldn't. He had mentioned it to his friends, and they told him that if he didn't go with an HBGLO, they wouldn't be friends anymore -- in other words, he would potentially be ostracized -- something he wasn't yet ready to do.

On the other hand, we have minority members in our chapter who had no such pressures.
