Would love to hear why someone thought Hillary Clinton was worthy of Honorary Membership.

That's a membership question and I don't feel it's appropriate to question why membership of any kind was or was not extended to anyone, honorary or not. That's for the members of that organization to discuss.

AKA asked her to become an honorary member, but she declined it because she didn't want to join an organization that she couldn't have the freedom to join another one when asked. She probably declined it for political reasons. Which was wise because she probably wants votes from AKA, DELTAS, ZETAS, etc... and not have a label put on her.

So who do you think keep these orgs running? People who are wealthy and donate a lot of money yearly. Such as the "honorary" people, who put their money where their mouth is. So don't get all big headed and think you don't need those types of people, because those who might have pledged years ago undergrad are not doing a thang (yes, not a thang) for their org but sit around with a t-shirt on.
REALLY!!!! Hmmmmm, I never thought of it that way!!! How about -eth?
