I was just curious about one aspect of these different "auxiliary" groups. Don't you run into problems of people getting angry, because they feel like they're being treated as 'lesser' members of the overall whole? The auxiliary members may have thought it was a great idea originally, but then they might become "disillusioned" later on.
I could forsee lots of potential for people to disrespect others on that basis. You have to admit, to some degree, you're creating a 2 (or 3) tier "society" if you will. There are "levels of membership" that are at least perceived as "higher" than others, wouldn't you agree?
I wholeheartedly agree that membership standards need to be in place and maintained vigorously. I certainly have no problem with that.
It just seems to me that creating different "classes" of membership in the overall whole could lead to some big ego problems. It's bad enough in many cases with actives versus pledges. It just seems to me this sort of scheme could create similar feelings. Am I just wrong on that one?
Regards,
Rob
