I saw this old topic and there were a few things that I wanted to add to it. Just to set the record straight, the only reason why Oprah denied Honorary membership into a BGLO is because she did not want her choice to alienate women who are members of the other organizations. She wanted to become a member of an organization very badly (maybe because she has many family members in this organization) but she felt doing so would be bad public relations. I feel that is true to an extent, but she would have also been gaining much support at the same time. Another topic I wanted to cover was that I have been informed that some Honorary members did "pledge". This is information that I have heard by a member who claims to have pledged with a well known actress who is a member of a BGLO. I did not know this was possible, but now I am aware that it is.
