I recently read a book on the life of Oprah. She was very active in high school and college. I can not imagine her not wanting to be apart of a sorority with the many activities and clubs she joined. However, we know that during her college days, she would have been denied entrance in a particular organization because her skin tone was not light enough. Now years later, those who rejected her want her to be a member because she is rich and famous. Now it would seem like she would be favoring one if she joined. As far as volunteer service goes, Oprah would not have to do volunteer work because honorary members are selected for what they have already given to the community. Most already have funds, networks set up.
