yeah I was being sarcastic. I found it interesting that a newbie who has not identified themselves as a NPHC member would post with such authority.

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?
