staying relevant AND exclusive.
relevant- Oftentimes our orgs get caught up in functions that do not really reflect the needs or beliefs of our community, IMO. Some, like deb balls, are enjoyable, but honestly, what good use do these events serve? We need to be doing things that reflect us as a vibrant, living and growing part of black society, not orgs mired in the past and traditions that don't serve a purpose.
exclusive- this does not mean let your DoP or MoP beat your behind bloody so you can be 'one of us'. We need to find a way to stay exclusive and weed out the bad element that wants our orgs to be GANGS as opposed to organizations of COLLEGE-EDUCATED individuals!
