I have the utmost respect for the Founders of ALL of our organizations. I think that there is a distinction b/w "famous" and "notable." When I think "famous," perhaps Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer----people in the entertainment and sports realms. When I think of "notable," I'm thinking of those movers and shakers in the political and education realms. That may be my own biases, but in my world, everyone plays a role. However, being on TV or throwing pigskin does not denote "notable" status----unless you're proactive (as opposed to merely proathlete) and socially conscious.
Now, I think some people expressed surprise that certain actors and so forth are members of certain organizations, NOT because of the organization's worth. I think that we sometimes do not imagine that some of these people even went to college, not to mention having pledged an organization.
