good guestion - many may not understand the concept of fraternity or sorority. however, to be recognized as a positive force should be the only distinction that we need. one should never discount the impact that we as educated men and women have on others. one reason that i pursued Alpha is because of their perception in the community. in fact, i often tell others that my father belongs to another organization and how it bothers me when when folk describe him as this group is "perceived!" I've always wanted people to see an intelligent well rounded me and not just the outward thing. Back to your point, if the Black and Old Gold is seen in the inner city folk may not understand the true concept but will see the positive steps. Those that make it out of the inner city, and many inner city folk do go on to college, may then want to be a part of our org. becasue of the "perception" or difference Alpha makes in many communities.
