All of the folks present at this discussion are members of at least one other selective membership organization. Reasons for joining other organizations included frustration within their sorority, family tradition and legacy, and desire to network with a larger group of women.
I shared that some older members believe that their respective NPHC sorority should serve all of our organizational need states and; that we shouldn't seek to join other selective member organizations.
Is your NPHC Sorority enough?

I would not say that Alpha Kappa Alpha is not enough for me, I am very active in my chapter and I even serve on the exec. board, but I am a joiner.
I am in several other organizations, such as MO Black Legislative Caucus, National Association of Black Journalist, NAACP to name a few and I do take a lesser role in those orgs because I do spend so much time with Alpha Kappa Alpha.
As I get older I want to join other women's orgs because I love the networking opportunities and I also like to align myself with like minded, success women.
