I kinda think this is true too. During the 50's & 60's, the ONLY social outlets that Blacks had were provided by the then D8 - cotillions, balls, debutante parties and dances, and other groups like the Links, Jack and Jill and the Boule' (Sigma Pi Phi). The definition of being an elite Black back then was to be a member of one of these groups. Now, you can be an elite Black and not have to move in a D9-based social group. I mean it is still impressive to be part of the D9, but NOT necessary as it once was.
