KNOWLEDGE 1:
I think that you miss the brother's point. He wasn't knocking 100 Black Men, he was saying that it wasn't a Brotherhood in the sense of a fraternity. As someone who was invited to membership in 100 Black Men, I fully understand the group. It consisted of many Greeks in my area, but I was too busy with frat business to join (basileus, Grad Advisor). I also must disagree on your statement about your Pres being an Omega. Whether he is doing community service in the name of his church, lodge, NAACP, or 100 Black Men, he is doing it because he IS AN OMEGA!! That will always be part of the equation.
On topic, I disagree with Prof and Rainman. When I was seeking Omega, the chapter at my school was not about business or scholarship (they were still the coolest brothers on the yard), however, that did not deter my view of Omega as a whole. I made sure that after I crossed that I would effect change in the chapter. We selected better candidates and started living up to the national mandates. Years later, I am still happy about my decision.
