I have been reading into to this topic gr some time and it is time for me to speak. I am going to say this from the top, If I offend anyone I am sorry. These are my feeling and I am entitle to them.
Anyone after 1990 is a product of MIP. But we need to keep it real, people still and do pledge. But they is a diffenece in between pledging and hazing. A big difference.
I believe there should be a rite of passage. Belonging to such great organzations is a honor not a right. The Nifty Nine has come along way.
The real pledging is when you become a member and you are involved with community projects and trying to keep up with your dues.
When I first became a member of my organization, (where Finer Women are born)I would hear people stating I was the rock of my line, we pledge hard but when I would ask them if there are still active, crickets filled the air.
I do not have a problem if a person is "paper" why because we are all paper after 1990. Besides if the sister/brother knows the history and works hard with in the organization, I do not have a problem. The problems lays with me when a person comes down on another member because the way they were brought in. Is it the new member fault or the Intake coordinator fault. Who is to blame?
I rather take all the "paper" people that will work hard and know there stuff than some that pledge for 4 million years and do not do a damn thing. (sorry for the rough language :eek
Just remember after 1990 we are all paper according to the NPHC.
