Big A Phi to all the Greeks....Blaque love...its Phantastic
06 to my Frat...continue holding up the light.
Guess I am just a little long winded considering this is my first post....anyways.
This is in response to a post I saw in an earlier page. WEB Dubois is an honorary Member of Alpha Phi Alpha, Epsilon Chapter (I better know this considering the nights of, shall we say, creative learning)
What I fail to understand is any organization, mine included, striving to build its identity on a past glory. There is an Akan proverb, "Look towards your past, and you will begin to recognize your future". What I have witnessed is that too many individuals are dependant on that past, always ready to justify where others have been, others accomplishments, other "glory" yet not focused on their future progress...and what efforts they PERSONALLY will implement to continue their orgs. "success". Come 20 years from now, we will be that future, yet many of us will not have a thing to which we "contributed"....yet we know we "Pledged all day and night" and Martin Luther King was my Frat (for example). I wonder, was it some cats getting together, throwing darts at names at the wall as to "claim" members?
Who am I? Why do I believe in Manly deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All ManKind? Why do I continue to Try to Transcend All?
It reminds me of my cousin tellin me of her days at Clark Atlanta when she went to a club and met Deion Sanders Brother. Her reply was "But who are YOU?"
Anyways, just my thought here at work with isht to do!!!!
