BGLO origins
I have read over and over again on these boards (from black and white alike) that BGLOs were formed because black people couldn't get into GLOs and this saddens me. I would just like you all to think about this one thing: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, Phi Beta Sigma, and Zeta Phi Beta were all founded at Howard University when the school was TOTALLY BLACK. So which orgainzations were the founders of these orgainizatations excluded from joining? By the time Sigma Gamma Rho was founded at Butler, the other 3 organizations had already formed and (at least Delta) had chapters on their campus. They had a group they could have joined had they wanted to. We sell ourselves and our founders short when we say that our Sororities and Fraternities were formed because we couldn't get in somewhere else. Our founders had specific goals and objective that they didn't find ANYWHERE ELSE. Think about it.
