I as a kappaman am proud of the fact that we don't have honoraries, but i am also disappointed in some of the young brothers and sisters who are becoming involved in bglo,s today. I have talked to a few and they seem to have no sense of the history of their org. when you have to tell a young man that he can look at the names of famous civil rights activist and that they wer all influenced by their particular bglo, and he looks as if you are speaking in a foreign tongue it makes you wonder if it is time to re-educate them. honorary or not

I do have a question. Is it that you just do not call them honoraries, but still may have a special initiation via an alumni chapter for someone of national distinction?

The reason I asked is that our honoraries tend to be women who were interested in Delta for many years, but for whatever reason could not pledge when they were younger. And then their distinguished careers kept from from being able to later. I have shed quite a few tears upon hearing an new honorary initiate speak with passion about how they always wanted a chance to be a member and never thought they would ever get it.

Thus I am proud of the fact that we have a honorary member category.

Or initiations at the prerogative of the national president... or something.
