I PERSONALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHATS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT BEING GREEK....I KNOW AT HOWARD BEING GREEK IS SLOWLY NOT ABOUT ISH....MATTER FACT NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE I KNOW AND I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED BECAUSE GREEKS ARE LOOKED AT AS LAME... I MEAN MAYBE SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME LIGHT ON THIS I AM JUST WANTING TO KNOW WHAT THE FASCINATION IS ABOUT....I MEAN WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO JOIN AN ORGANIZATION THAT BEATS THEM AND TREATS THEM LIKE ISH BEFORE THEY GET IN AND THEN WHEN THEY GET IN THEY ARE FAKE.....LIKE THIS ONE DUDE WHO PLEDGED QUE AT OUR SCHOOL COULDNT STAND LIKE 6 QUES THAT WERE ON THE LINE BEFORE AND HE STILL PLEDGED...NOW THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BROS BUT YOU CANT TRUST EM AS FAR AS YOU CAN THROW EM. ALSO THE WHOLE GREEK THING IS KINDA WHITE-WASH IF YOU ASK ME.....BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEATING EACH OTHER AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO WEAR SOME WHITE MANS LETTERS ON THEY CHEST....I JUST DONT GET IT.....PAY ME 1000 DOLLARS AND I'LL BEAT YOU TOO AND I'LL GET YOU SOME LETTERS THAT GLOW IN THE DARK.... :lol: .....I MEAN PEOPLE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME BECAUSE YALL LOOK LIKE FOOLS TO ME AND ALOT OF OTHER PEEPS.....SQUEALING LIKE PIGS, BARKING, RUNNING AROUND LIKE MONKEYS, AND EVERY OTHER ANIMAL IN THE BOOK.....MY GRANDMOTHER IS AN AKA AND SHE SOUNDS SO FOOLISH WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT HER PLEDGING DAYS ( JUST MORE BLACKS TRYING TO FIT IN)....I READ THE HISTORY ON THESE FRATS AND SORORITIES AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE STARTED BECAUSE THEY COULDNT BE IN THE WHITE FOLKS STUFF SO THEY MADE THEY OWN AND SEGREGATED THEY OWN PEOPLE ( THATS ISHED UP)

I'm going to have to disagree with you I see what you mean about some of your statements. Now I can’t speak for other BGLO's but with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity incorporated, it is indeed about brotherhood. I have nothing but love for my bruhs, and especially for my line brothers. They know that I am willing and have gone out of my way, as long as it does not go against the morals that I personally believe in, to help them when they need me, no questions asked. I love my line brothers and I make sure that I tell them that every time I see them. I would trust my line brothers with things that I would never tell my friends or my parents. YES IT"S THAT DEEP. And that is something that I couldn’t really find being a former member of Habitat for Humanity & Jr. Civitans back in the day.
Now if you want to know why I joined Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated, I'll let you know. I've wanted to be a sigma since HS. I knew sigmas back in the day and these people were bright young men that gave a dayum about what was going on in their own community. They were not afraid to put in work and be apart of something that was uplifting the community instead of bringing it down. Fast forward a few years to college, I see that the sigmas were actually focused on doing good things, not only on the yard but also in the community. They were not about throwing party after party, sure they had fun and all but they got things done. I myself aspire to be a great man in the future and what better way to achieve that goal that to be surrounded with other great men who are about the same.
G.O.M.A.B......it's not just a saying, it's a way of life
