After being on the inside for so long, we need to stop and think from their perspective. Because if there are no new members, there is no org. But, I know one thing, if we don't come up with an answer, the "bustas" will....and it will lead to less orgs in the NPHC.

Bruh, I disagree with you vehemently on this point. Omega is not a business!!!!! It is first and foremost a BROTHERHOOD!!! Now, this brotherhood has BUSINESS that it needs to handle, but I'm not recruiting members to sit on a board, handle finances, or be project leaders. I'm recruiting BROTHERS who can do those things, but realize that their first duty is to be a brother. If you choose a person who has true Omega qualities, you will find one that can handle business.
Times and people have changed throughout the 90 year history of Black Greekdom, but its only been the last 10 years that the entry process has changed (for the worse ) so that argument that we need to do something to attract this generation doesn't hold water. Membership is screwed up because we have become schizophrenic in our effort to please a hostile master instead of being true to ourselves. Because we have focused so much on what outsiders think of us (the press, lawyers, haters, white folks) we have compromised our way of life to satisfy others. When you do that, you lose your focus. Now we are businesses that look at memebership as revenue, not brothers or sisters. We microwave members and then expect them to appreciate something for a lifetime and worse, expect them to be treated as equals by those who went through Blood, Sweat, and Tears. The further God has brought you, the more you shout in Church. There is an inverse relationship between business and brotherhood. The more you have of one, the less you will have of the other. But that is the conundrum
