I know several!
To this day, I am still challenged by the idea of white women pursuing membership in NPHC organizations. In Niles' case, I understand that the women she looked up to prior to membership were AKAs, but joining AKA herself meant that her focus had to shift to the fulfillment of AKA's vision. It will be interesting to see what she does with her life toward that end.
To liken my perspective to a recent GC topic, to me, it's a lot like if a transgendered aspirant (identifying as a man) wanted to join my organization. While I would not be entirely opposed to the possibility, I would need to be convinced why this individual would want to take the oath of sisterhood in an organization that wasn't designed for him.
