Can someone be initiated in PBS if they can't vote?

Is the reason they can't vote because they are a convicted felon?

YA YA..........some people do not believe. Pretty silly though. debt to society paid, what more can a person do.

So maybe the better question would be can you pledge PBS if you are a convicted felon?

y u care DST???

Daaaaaamn boy, what did you do?

I don't think I would be down for felons in my chapter, unless it was related to stealing.

(In my most humble and southern voice) Please forgive me for my last post ladygreek. I did not mean to offend you in any way shape or form my dear sweet DST. I anticipated a member of PBS to respond, but it seems they don't like to respond to such questions. This info is for someone who does not want to approach a member himself (not me), for fear he will become a public spectacle. I myself, as my name suggest, know my fate. But it seems my dear friend wants to take the road less traveled.
Again my sweet DST............my apologies. OWT:)

I would rather have a murderer than a thief.:eek:

Now that's justa bunch of crazy talk. If you gets murdered, you is dead and gone, like forever! :eek: :(

If someone steals from you, life goes on. Plus it is easy to defend yourself from thieves. Ask them hotel people. Before I got saved, me and my girls tried to sneak a TV set from the Comfort Inn. Our room was close to an exit and we had a large van. We could've got away with it very easily. But them fools had the b*tch GLUED to the stand! :mad: :confused: Smart thinking on their part. :rolleyes: Now I just take bibles.

y u ask eye? But to answer your question troll, my grandfather was a PBS and more importantly, IF you are a convicted felon there are ways to get your voting privileges restored. Talk to your local ACLU.

But again, I suspect this issue for the fraternity would not be that you couldn't vote, but what you were convicted for--duh.

Shamika T, stop right now!!!! This dude may be serious. :D

@ ladygreek: (souther voice) No need for name calling (troll?), hardly.

@Shamika T: I think you need to recommitt your life to Jesus. Such foul language for a lady is quite inapproiate. Why if I were in your presence I would wash your mouth out with soap.:D

I think it a fair assessment that we all know how people stereotype others for whatever reason. My friend is a good man, he just made a mistake in his life, but it should not be held against him. Some of your BGLO's tend to do such. Not all chapters are the same however. My initial post was to find out if there was some sort of national guideline against people being convicted of a crime not being granted membership.
I thank you ladygreek for your suggesstion on contacting the ACLU, and Shamika T: PUT THOSE DAMN BIBLES BACK!!!! LOL:) :) :)

Son, please don't d*mn bibles! :eek:

:) :) :)

Voting
 

If I understand your questions the answer is yes. There is nothing currently that states that a man cannot be initiated into Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. if he cannot vote. Voting is a major focus in our fraternity but the right to vote is not a mandatory requirement. I hope that answers your question.

LoJ

Thank you for your information LoJ. You are truly a gentleman as well as a scholar. I will also pass this information on to my dear friend in the hopes that he will continue his journey into the land of PBS. I have tried, unconvincingly, to sway him in another direction but his tunnell vision has him seeing in only one. Oh well, the world is not a perfect place.:)

LMAO!!!!!!! I love Shamika :)
