Regarding Michelle Obama, Congrats to her! I think it's silly to insist that AKA extend an invitation to Cindy McCain. Every organization has the right to choose who they would like to honor. This really doesn't have to be political. I would be happy for any woman who was extended the invitation of being an honorary member for any sorority. They had to have done something right!

I think it would be silly (for a lot of different reasons) to insist that they extend a membership to Cindy McCain too. Where have you read that people are saying that?

Also isnt AKA the sorority where two young women lost their lives to hazing? As I write anohter young woman is recuperating from disabling injuries due to hazing by AKAs. Lets all write Obama and ask why Michelle Obama is willing to join this elitist exclusionary group whose members were featured in Mink coats as a form of status."

Thank you. I thought you meant someone on GreekChat.

Can we now give this discussion a rest, folks?

I think this release is sufficient for ALL your " 'needs' to know basis"... Thanks.

With all due respect, AKA Monet, it doesn't answer what the Obama camp means by "non-exclusive".
