I feel you DAMIE. Merely, creating a org similar to a sororities and fraternites does not earn you respect to me. Who can't get a group of people together and throw some letters on it. People always want to claim something. That I can respect is the org making it thriving and making it tot he ten year mark with increase in membership and impact on it purpose/community.

Suppose a group of students come alond and decide that they aren't interested in the ideals of any of the Divine 9 organizations. Suppose said students decide to form a GLO of their own. 1)What would they have to do to gain/earn the respect shared amongst the D9? 2) Why not respect them for having the courage to do their own thing in the first place? Hmmm... For starters don't start an organization if your first focus is to gain some other org's respect. The "respect" piece is not from other orgs it comes from the general public that you serve. When the general public "respects" you they will attend your functions and join your orgs; which in many cases is a reflection of your progress. If a group of individuals started their own org then God bless them. I think that some of us as "greeks" forget that we were once "them". Plus, the problem with a lot of GLOs today is that they think they own the market when you are just really occupying and renting like everyone else. The purpose of most if not all GLOs is to service society and maintain unity through brotherhood/sisterhood.

I think so. Kinda, but not really.Like, when Iota Phi Theta was formed, how did they gain the respect that led to the Elite 8 becoming the Divine 9? What would they have to do to even be considered to reach those ranks?

Too easy

Will this said org copy the traditions of the D9? If so....that won't be a good look.

2) I can respect you for doing your own thing. What I don't respect is the mimicry of the wanna be D9 copycats. Get your own swagger and I'll respect that. Don't lift our traditions. Don't bite our colors and calls. Define some unique aspect that differentiates you beyond who your target member may be.[/quote]
Amen!
Don't get no line jackets, strut(yall stroll), step, etc!

Those are not my words. That's not what I said at all. and Muse, I just saw your post, so i'll respond now. better et, i will try to clarify. students in college 9 BGLOs 5 fraternities 4 sororities follow me so far? good meet michelle. michelle knows she wants to pledge, but before jumping out there, she studies and does her research. Then decides that something is missing FOR HER in each of the groups. "Hmm," Michell thinks. "What should I do?" Michelle finds out that there are others who feel the same way. One day while sharing thoughts, the idea of a new sorority comes into play. Not to RIVAL anyone, but to offer what they each felt was missing. So let's say said org became established, incorporated, and all that other good stuff. It is officially a BGLO. Meaning YES, they respect and want to become part of the NPHC. The question is: What makes or breaks that decision? COULD THEY gain the respect necessary to become another NPHC org? Or would they be looked down upon for following their hearts and deviating from the norm? Why would "michelle" not try to implement whats missing? I'm trying to see what's missing from all of these orgs? Unless Michelle wants it to be an all lesbian or big girl org like I've seen before in which I have no problem with.

1) LMBO @ a splash, and dash, a pinch, and a shake 2) i totally understand 3) Are BGLOs aware that it is this type of "snobbery" (not my words) that sometimes turn people off. *DISCLAIMER: Please note that Chal is in no way, shape, form, or fashion attempting to start, begin, found, or join such group and using you guys as informants (so to speak). This is merely an observation on my part of a group that could very well experience this sooner or later. *All of us aren't snobs! Just me and my Sorors are. ;D
