Why do we have honorary members?
For the most part, to join an NPHC org you must have a bachelors degree or be enrolled at an accredited 4 year university.
But there are men and women (famous and not) that have done EXCEPTIONAL work for the community, but do not have degrees. And for that reason, some of us have implemented an honorary membership category. (same with honorary degrees) It has nothing to do with money.
Just because they are famous does not mean they did not come in through the "normal" chanels . And just because they are honorary does not mean that they are famous!
