In reality – based on scripture – the organization called the church was instituted to minister to the social needs of those in our community and world in the first place. I told you earlier that this was good and bad. Many BGLOs are dependent upon 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 year olds to transmit information that is really beyond them and cannot be fully understood in the context of a college experience.

NO, but I know someone who claimed to have done this. I know for a fact that she pledged ZETA and she did transfer schools and when she came back she was sporting crimson and cream and saying she was now a DELTA. Like I said, she did pledge ZETA here at my school for sure, was very active here with the Zeta’s so, I think she is telling the truth about her being a Delta now. I could be wrong but it is to my understanding that you cannot be a member of another NPHC sorority or fraternity.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council at The Ohio State University (NPHC-Ohio State), which started as the Black Greek Council, was chartered in the fall of 1995. The National Pan-Hellenic Council at The Ohio State University is the umbrella agent for the nine historically black Greek lettered organizations charted at The Ohio State University. Although the council was chartered in 1995, the organizations have existed on campus dating back to 1911.

There are drug dealers that provide financial stability to their families. There are doctors that provide medical attention to their family and friends (improper drug prescriptions, etc. – I think we have Michael Jackson’s case to prove this one!). There are politicians who provide favors to their constituents at the price of a vote. As well, many of the organizations include things like “seeing the light” and “obtaining truth” which are direct opposites to what scripture promotes. Being an initiate of a BGLO wasn’t the ONE THING that I had to deal with as I’ve gotten mature. But when a person only looks at one element and misses the root of the problem, we misdiagnose the cure.
