Okay...Since the replies to my comment were everywhere, I'll cover them accordingly:
JojaPeach:
First, I would like to express my gratitude to you for observing the interval and number of posts that I have had! However, I do not see how that has any weight on the
content of my most recent post. Protocol, deference, etc. through the electronic medium does not apply. Nonetheless, I respect you and your views, pretty lady. Also, in what way was I attempting to re-direct your post or being sarcastic for that matter? By posing a general question? A question that clearly stated that I was not asking "What's the big deal," though you tell me to just ask you what the big deal is? I was trying to avoid "nitpicking" but here you state:
"Therefore, your analogy of preparing them for a future profession that anyone has a right to pursue and expect to be doesn't quite compare to a child already believing that s/he can rep for a D9 org.
So, I can't speak for my soror, but I know I have more issue with the kids themselves, not the children."
Who
doesn't have the right to "pursue and expect to be" a member of any said organization? As much as I admire the nine historically black organizations, I do believe that sometimes there are those who may go beyond having pride and elevate themselves to an elite status among their own, similar to those described in Lawrence Otis Graham's,
Our Kind of People. I agree that is is "one thing" with a 3 or 4-year old because they are not aware of all the "ins and outs" of becoming a member of these organizations...which was my point! There was no mention, on my behalf, of any older child continuing to do it and eventually start believing that "it" is their own. Notice that my post was in reference to the initial post of the young man in the video. It seems as if you skimmed my post so that you could quickly reply with a post designed for "oohs" and "aahs". The
majority (not all of it) of your post was irrelevant to mine. Raggedy skulls, sarcasm, "behind-the-scenes" elements, etc....come on now.
DSTCHAOS:
"Plus he's a member of Kappa Kappa Psi. Not a BGLO and not in the NPHC. An honorary band fraternity. Ha!
LOL. I've NEVER seen an aspirant of any age for that organization. Of course he'd be thrilled if a child cared enough to mimic WHATEVER they are known for. Whatever it is. (
)"
You type this as if my membership in Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity has
the slightest of anything to do with any of this! All you did was state facts: Not a BGLO, not in the NPHC, and it is an honorary band fraternity. Okay, now what? I am but a single member of the fraternity who makes statements on behalf of myself and not my organization. I am not made by the affiliation. An organization exists through its members, not the other way around. And you are right, LOL
, I have never seen an aspirant of
any age for Kappa Kappa Psi, HAHAHA! Isn't that funny and sensible?! No. Review your statement and try again, lovely lady. And once again, you state another fact! I would be thrilled if a child were to mimic what we are known for! We are known for serving the college and university band programs.
JojaPeach again:
If you did not want to go there, and you did not go there, why go there now? Because someone else did? I respect your original intentions...Don't be bothered that I am in a fraternity at Howard! Be happy for your brother and that I am
striving for excellence! I'm proud that you're doing the same! Truly. I did not have to come to a website to ask my question. My rhetorical question stemmed from the comments that were posted on this website. Unless the authors of those posts attend Howard, I don't see how I could have gotten any answers from HU or the NPHC Greeks that I know. If any of DSTCHAOS' Alpha chapter sorors who are in Howard's chapter of Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Band Sorority, Inc. have any answers, that'd be awesome!..
Sugar08:
I'll have to speak to these members who, "in their minds," have honorary BGLO status and act accordingly. Lord knows that emulating and joining the Divine Nine is
every non-BGLO members dream!

If you don't understand what our big deal, just ask without trying to be smart about it...because you weren't. 
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it. 
Not on Freshman move-in! I'd give more slack to a visiting HS senior, but if someone bought you a Future XYZ shirt, then that same someone should school that person to not wear that shirt on anyone's campus.
