NATIONAL STUDY ON HAZING/PLEDGING/MIP: PLEASE PARTICIPATE Monday, December 20, 2010 12:15 PM

For more than a year now, my colleagues and I have been conducting dozens of empirical studies on Black Greek-letter organizations. One study, the largest of them all, is the study on hazing/pledging/MIP (Membership Intake Process). My close friend from graduate school and colleague -- Dr. Shayne Jones -- is heading up this project. Among other things, the findings from this study should help us better ascertain why hazing persists within BGLOs, what types of members remain active within BGLOs, how brotherhood/sisterhood is cultivated within BGLOs, what BGLO members desire in a "process," etc. All participation is confidential; the study takes about an hour and is quite probing. The full details of the study and the link to the study are at:

Please participate, and pass this message along to any and every BGLO member you know.

Brotherly,
Gre

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

I feel like we're living in a whirlwind of fools in Wash DC as they carry out their orders as they have been paid by Corporations to do. How can we live in what was considered the greatest country on earth, and allow people to perish due to the inability to pay for health care? How great can we be, when folks face bankruptcy or homelessness if they get sick and need help?

With this mentality... how did anyone decide that Dr. Jack Kevorkian should go to jail? It's wrong for folks to personally decide they have no more fight left and tired of suffering, but insurance companies can tell folks that you can't afford help, so die. Wow!

And now we have our controlled media, so quiet about the fact that GOP/Teabags got what they wanted. Deficit be damned!!! We can all see the fraud in all that protesting up to November. Seems that as Dick Cheyney said... 'deficits don't matter'... as long as it's benefiting the wealthy.

I saw the quote by MLK this morning in an email I received from BLACKNJ and these things popped into my mind. I will continue to pray for increased wisdom and learning so that we can live civilly together... and not perish as fools!

Cheyney said 'deficits don't matter'... remember?

Ok so where were the Teabags when Dick Cheyney said this? And now, they stand firm with no compromise ever considered, on their platform that deficits don't matter... as long as wealthy folks benefit. Its incredible that they get so much support, from some folks who have nothing, and worse, on government assistance. We are living in a time of insanity.

Cheney to Treasury: "Deficits don't matter"

Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill was told "deficits don't matter" when he warned of a looming fiscal crisis.

O'Neill, fired in a shakeup of Bush's economic team in December 2002, raised objections to a new round of tax cuts and said the president balked at his more aggressive plan to combat corporate crime after a string of accounting scandals because of opposition from "the corporate crowd," a key constituency.

O'Neill said he tried to warn Vice President Dick Cheney that growing budget deficits-expected to top $500 billion this fiscal year alone-posed a threat to the economy. Cheney cut him off. "You know, Paul, Reagan proved deficits don't matter," he said, according to excerpts. Cheney continued: "We won the midterms (congressional elections). This is our due." A month later, Cheney told the Treasury secretary he was fired.]]]
