I have seen alot of "Suspect" members.
For instance...lets be real...
Fredrick Douglass is NOT an ALPHA...he was dead WELL before 1906
Paul Lawrence Dunbar was NOT a Que
he also died well before 1911
Quincy Jones is NOT an ALPHA or a Que
George Washington Carver is NOT a Sigma
etc.
And why do our organizations make honorary members? I know many will disagree but that practice seems rediculous to me. There are plently of influential members who CHOSE our organizations and went on to do great things...why are we "handing out" memberships to other accomplished black people. They sould have to SEEK OUT the letters like everyone else....Let me know what you think

With all due respect not all things are as obvious as the seem:
ie Fredrick Douglass has a special connection to Alpha even though he died before it's founding.(Look on our national website he is listed as a brother)
Alpha no longer makes honorary members period...........
ps How do you know Quincy Jones is not affiliated?(just curious)
