Just be clear...we (NPHC) are not saying a person with a disability (physical or mental) will not get into our organizations. What we are saying is that there are many chances where this young lady will be put into social situations (chapter, cluster, regional, boule, service, etc.). For example we (speaking for my chapter) have forums, info tables dealing with our targets, and other thins that require members to be out and about speaking to the public and strangers nontheless.

I don't want the impression to be that we discriminate on disiability or ability for that matter.

Yes, to concur with my Soror 1908Revelations, some of our famous members have mental disabilities that are very public (Soror Jada Pinkett Smith). In fact that is one of our main community service platforms for the next 3 years under Health Resource Management.

We are to assist in the planning and informing our communities in which we serve about mental illness and disabilities.

However, interests who want to join will be placed into situations that could be uncomfortable. But it is the same as applying for a job.

But quietriot requested info on probating... According to the NPHC bylaws and my Sorority's bylaws, probating is view during membership intake process as illegal. Now, whether that is realistic, well from the outside looking in mentality and like various different perspectives not everything is as it seems...

Unhappy Nearing 40 and already old.

I'm sorry since we have to keep our Federal Non profit status as dictated by the Sarbanes-Oxley act, we have make sure we BENEFIT the people we accept for membership.

If that makes the D9 tool bags well, then maybe we cannot handle piss poor members who fail to assist the communities that we serve.

Bottomline, can this chick buy a manditory assessment of tickets @ $50+ for lifelong membership status? That's OUR reality because several deserving kids need scholarships. Or fighting against breast cancer requires providing mammograms, or fighting for civil rights.

I get very exhausted of the haughtiness and arrogance of many current college students today. But, hey, what do I expect, these kids are just products of their environment.
