IMHO, there IS no reason to turn your pin in upon taking your oath to the organization you choose to join!!!

With that being said, I have seen "others" in organizations that have ostracized certain members 'cuz they came thru one way or another. When I saw the challenging, the tests, the neglect, the resentment, the hurt, the anger hurled at these members, not to mention that it IS hazing as defined by the NPHC, it broke my heart... But no one ever told these folks to remember what was the "REASONS" why they joined... And those reasons change from time to time, chapter to chapter and life circumstances to livelihood...

Remember, why do folks leave the Church, Mosque, Temple or Shrine?

Maybe 'cuz we live in a pluralistic society and several folks died so that some folks can BE flaky like dat... I dunno...

I think we can all say that our committment to some things are extremely limited... Just look at the Untied States divorce rates... Look at the increases in children caught up into the foster care system 'cuz their folks wanted other thangs... Shoot, if a mamma cain't be committed to her child, then dayum, how can we ask someone be committed to our organizations?

Which leaves me to leap and bound to the fact, that all the HBGLO's in the NPHC were formed during a time of oppression and that our relevance is being tested today by the mere fact of how all of our intake processes have had to change...

So some ippy dippy interest rolls upto us half-baked and makes MIP (today as required by Nationals) then flakes out and turns in her 'nalia 'cuz she wasn't strong enuf relative to our foremothers... Then... What??? Maybe, IMHO, we need to do our own private investigations and research bout flossy assed negroes... 'Cuz I'm tired of the faked funkers! It's time to find those who can step... Hopefully UP!
