The difficulty with many of these old organizations is that they still remain rooted in the beginnings of the Civil Rights Struggle, unable to admit that the struggle isn't over and unable to realize that the work that needs to be done now requires different tactics than it did in the early 1900s. That is one of the primary reasons that many of the organizations (greek organizations included) have been unable increase membership, develop strong relations with the general masses of African Americans in the United States, and be at the forefront of social and political change as they once were.
