Faternalism deifinition is of or relating to brothers of a close faternal ties. My definition of faternalism is simlar, it deals with a life long brotherhood. WHen you know where your organization gets their rituals, and why they have a certain name it gives you a better understanding of what that organization is about. Knowing that faternal organizations go back to ancent egypt is a great way of me understand my faternities ties to africa. Greek organizations are important today, for students and graduates to get involved on campus in a organization that can continue to be involved in after they granduate or if they attend another school. They have many non greek orgs. that are on campuses that do many community service events that greek orgs do but the "Faternal" bond does not exsist after. Living in a society of many social changes and many different opionions, I feel like its an important factor that we have organizations who can contribute to positive change in our society. On PWI, I feel as though BGLO never had a huge relevants, but as other white organizations see more and more of the organizations doing important work they will start understanding the reason why we joined these organizations. We can not expect our organizations to be relevant when we have and average of 10 members in BGLO, compared to many white organizations 50 members.
