Membership Intake Moratorium

[navane]

Wow is right. I appreciated the way the letter from Mr. Mason just comes right out with it - the decision, the reasons, action plan and reassurance to the members. I know Alpha Phi Alpha to be an excellent organization and this just reaffirms, for me, how members from top to bottom strive to truly exemplify the organization's values.

No, but he's spamming about it.

Seriously. He sent 2 separate emails to owners of the pretty much defunct Sorority Alumnae yahoo group (which has no Alphas as members, for reasons that should be pretty clear) on I think Wednesday:

Greetings All:

For many months now, my colleagues and I have been working on an alternative to the Membership Intake Process. Our proposal is drawn heavily from a systematic review of scholarship across many disciplines, legal statutes and court cases, etc. Since Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has publicly issued a national moratorium on Intake, we've done the first roll-out of our proposal among members and leaders within Alpha. If you are an Alpha member and interested in seeing the proposal, please contact your chapter president, area director, district/assistant district director, or regional vice president/assistant vice-president for a copy of the 23-page proposal. We hope to roll out a more general version many months from now.

Best,

My district director sent it out to all the Brothers. I thought it was very well documented and I liked much of what was referenced. Take a look at it.
