When you GDI's say that you are doing research, what are some of the things that you are looking for HERE on HBCUconnect as opposed to the official site and individual chapter websites of various GLO's?

Wow... no one has replied yet so I guess I'll stick my neck out there (to possibly get chopped off :-D)
When I "do research" on hbcuconnect.com, it's mainly to see what NOT to do when pursuing interest for an organization. I think I've seen enough less learned individuals get hung out to dry for their questions/comments that could easily be learned by opening up The Divine Nine or doing a few Google searches on the organization at hand. Plus, I've corresponded with some really nice people.
I think I have a pretty good handle on almost all the BGLO's basic information, so coming here gives me an opportunity to learn the proper way to act.
I hope that made sense.

I basically learn what not to ask greeks, **** behavior for an aspirant, proper protocol, etc. Also to get a good laugh. I mean I can just sit and read through all these threads and understand that certain types of questions don't get answer and certain post get frowned upon and laughed at. I don't look to learn anything about a specific organization or Greek history on here. I use other resources for that.
When Ive done research it actually wasnt to find actual info on this site...Just to look out and read whatever insight a greek shares inside the forum...But most of my research has come from books, official websites, and a number of different chapter sites, and talking to older greeks I know who are more willing to talk to an aspirant verses a younger greek who I know wouldnt.
