Rain Man in all fairness to Nupe4Life's orginial question, which has been answered adequately i might add by various sorors, i think you are taking this conversation to another level with your constant questioning of our national/historic policies (AKA and DST). we are being most gracious in even answering as we do not have to. As has been stated before, Membership is Selective in all 4 organizations, period. There are other groups like the Sigma Gamma Rhos and the Zetas that offer women who do not desire/or can not afford etc etc. to attend a 4 year program the opportunity to join their aux groups to do service etc., in addition there are many women organizations that have requirements these women can meet, many many 4 year college trained women still do not make the cut into AKA or DST, so why should we lower the standards for non 4 year students, who by choice choose to pursue other avenues that do not qualify them for membership in our sorority. that is not our promblem. that's life Rain Man, for jobs, loans, scholarships, etc. if you don't qualify you don't get it, unless you're Bush

Positively, let's get one thing straight.
I am not singling out AKA and DST with my questions, I usually ask NPHC orgs as a whole, it just so happens that AKAs and DSTs have been my most frequent respondents.
You always have an option not to respond to a question, which I understand wholeheartedly, but please do not present an attitude that you (or others) are doing me a favor by responding.
I am not asking ANY org to change their policies, what I am asking when I present the questions that I do is that they take off their blinders and present some original thought, not some canned, Spam-tasting rhetoric. I have been in the Greek game for 9 years and I know a lot more about Black Greek life than arguably, a lot of BGLO members themselves who has been in it 2 and maybe even 3 times as long. So when I ask something, it is not to step on toes, it is to create a new perspective and to broaden insight, and maybe even to force people to think outside of this BGLO rhetorical "box" that they seem to have been indoctrinated to respond in.
I will continue to ask such question b/c I feel that they are valid. If you take offense, please put on a tougher skin or just not respond. But all I ask is that if you do respond, please answer the question at hand, not skirt the issue.
Again, Positively, all I got from you was rhetoric, not an answer.
