I thought this book deserved a thread of its own, and I didn't already find one.
Black Greek 101 by Walter Kimbrough is a book about the traditions of BGLOs. What I like most about the book is that it is by no means limited to NPHC organizations. In fact, I think that's the book's most important feature. Too many NPHC members behave as though there are still only eight organizations, when in fact, there are closer to 80 BGLOs.
I also think an important feature of the book was the discussions about hazing and membership intake. It was brutally honest on all sides. Reading about the many accounts of injuries that members inflict on "pledges" or even other members was pretty sickening.
Kimbrough even takes the bold approach of addressing the fact that homosexuality in our orgs is an issue that our leadership refuses to address.
It EVEN discusses the challenges of Latino Greeks.
This book has everything but the kitchen sink, and I STRONGLY urge that all Greeks and aspirants purchase it.
