Some "famous" or distinguished persons prefer no special or congratulatory recognition of any kind despite their position/title in life. I like the idea of a greek org headquarters asking their "famous" greek members whether they would prefer NOT to be mentioned by their organization in any congratulatory manner.

As an example, our local high school names multiple "famous" former graduates to a special Milestone Members list, and invites them to their own awards dinner, every year. To even nominate a former grad for this award, you must have their signed permission to enter their name to be considered for the recognition. Granted, being recognized by your former HS for winning a Tony Award isn't quite the same as winning a Tony Award. But some "famous" people are bigger sports about their fame than others, and everyone has their right to privacy.
