A Point of clarification...
I think what Rainman is asking is what makes women who are initiated say their sophomore year and for what ever reason, drop out of school (IT HAPPENS WITH ALL NPHC orgs.)anymore qualified/priviledged than those women that attend junior college.
And before anyone takes offense. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated does NOT have membership at JC/CC either. And yes, we PRIDE ourselves in being selective too. The only difference is we have an alternative affiliation.
In the 21st century we need to be very careful of how we address "classic academia". I know quite a few folks who have associate degrees in say COMPUTER SCIENCE...who are doing very well, as well as another famous college drop-out who based on all of our current standards would not be eligible for traditional membership outside of honorary membershio...yet, he has given a trememdous amount of service & $$$$$ to the Black community and was responsible for revolutionizing the computer age. We all know who he is...No need to drop names...turn on your PC and you will know his work.
