As a member of the 'other elite"
, I believe that we all must have standards but I do not see that as exclusionary. Everything is not for everyone. If there were no standard, where is the pride of being a member? We must be selective to ensure the longevity of our groups and the quality of our programs.
As members of the 'talented tenth', we have a moral and social obligation to those less fortunate than ourselves. However, the problem arises when we become snobbish or place more value on things that don't matter (ie skin color, birthplace, family weatlh).
While everyone is not destined to be a member, our organizations can have positive effects on our entire community.
