Inaccurate "Famous" Fraternity Members

How do you feel about Fraternities and Sororities "making up" famous members to make their organization look good.

I have seen alot of "Suspect" members.

For instance...lets be real...

Fredrick Douglass is NOT an ALPHA...he was dead WELL before 1906

Paul Lawrence Dunbar was NOT a Que
he also died well before 1911

Quincy Jones is NOT an ALPHA or a Que

George Washington Carver is NOT a Sigma

etc.

And why do our organizations make honorary members? I know many will disagree but that practice seems rediculous to me. There are plently of influential members who CHOSE our organizations and went on to do great things...why are we "handing out" memberships to other accomplished black people. They sould have to SEEK OUT the letters like everyone else....Let me know what you think
