EXACTLY! We do not approach just ANYONE just as we don't extend regular membership to just ANYONE. There IS a process and the invitation CAN be REFUSED. It's like Soror McCoyRed said "Delta's honorary members are selected because they ALREADY embody the principles on which DST was founded." The have pledged their LIFE to a cause that's in line with our Five Point Thrust.
I respect that Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated chooses not to extend honorary memberships, and I respect the opinion of those who concur. However, do not postulate that those organizations that do extend honorary memberships are somehow reducing the value or sacredness their organization's letters.
