But again, I suspect this issue for the fraternity would not be that you couldn't vote, but what you were convicted for--duh.

Shamika T, stop right now!!!! This dude may be serious.

@ ladygreek: (souther voice) No need for name calling (troll?), hardly.

@Shamika T: I think you need to recommitt your life to Jesus. Such foul language for a lady is quite inapproiate. Why if I were in your presence I would wash your mouth out with soap.

I think it a fair assessment that we all know how people stereotype others for whatever reason. My friend is a good man, he just made a mistake in his life, but it should not be held against him. Some of your BGLO's tend to do such. Not all chapters are the same however. My initial post was to find out if there was some sort of national guideline against people being convicted of a crime not being granted membership.
I thank you ladygreek for your suggesstion on contacting the ACLU, and Shamika T: PUT THOSE DAMN BIBLES BACK!!!! LOL

If I understand your questions the answer is yes. There is nothing currently that states that a man cannot be initiated into Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. if he cannot vote. Voting is a major focus in our fraternity but the right to vote is not a mandatory requirement. I hope that answers your question.

Thank you for your information LoJ. You are truly a gentleman as well as a scholar. I will also pass this information on to my dear friend in the hopes that he will continue his journey into the land of PBS. I have tried, unconvincingly, to sway him in another direction but his tunnell vision has him seeing in only one. Oh well, the world is not a perfect place.
