Red face Honorary Member's

Most of the list provided for the alpha's were honorary members.
From MLK to Manley to Frederick Douglas. Question? Does Frederick Douglas know that he is an alpha? He was given this honorary distinction after he was dead. Can we truly call him an alpha? This is the reason why the NPHC was formed, because of the alphas doing these types of things. (Look it up if you don't believe me) However, they are not the only ones. The vast majority of these organizations do these things for money purposes and to claim their accomplishments as their own. Whenever these lists are printed most of the prominent members are honorary. These same marketing tools are used to lure new members. Why? I wonder how many of these people would still have pledged these orgs. if they knew the truth from the beginning? Shameful. Some of these people never even saw the inside of a university.

How do you feel about this honorary thing and the way it is used to fool people?
