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.

Soror, is this REALLY true? Because I remember VIVIDLY that Oprah had a show a few years ago about hazing/pledging among fraternities and sororities. On this particular show, she had members of Kappa Alpha Psi on there that had something to do with a mishap on a campus in Missouri. Anyway, she "pretended" that she did not understand how one could "harm" another person yada, yada, yada (you know that whole bit).
I tripped because Oprah attended TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY during the days when folks were walking the "line" etc in front of EVERYONE. So, I didn't understand how she could say that that whole "greek" experience was foreign to her.
Now, you say, she wanted to become a member of an greek lettered organization. I'm really SHOCKED!
