If that is Shaq's home church and he wants to join their team, should he be given a pass?

Good point. And I agree with Jubilance. If that is what someone wants to do then so be it. For me the greater issue would be wanting to join and organization that is not recognized by the frat to which it attaches itself.

That would raise concerns for me as well.

while I agree with the thread starter to a certain extent, where we may diverge, is I feel like, even before pledging an nphc frat, aux are WACK!!!, the greater issue is affiliating yourself with an org that is not nationally recognized. That's like pledging the "yard" or "ghost"... it's like Harold Melving w/o the bluenotes...YOU'LL NEVER GO PLATINUM!
