BGLO/GLO-Honorary..Good or Bad........

[DoggyStyle82]

I applaud KAPsi for not having honoraries and I am proud that we have very few. The few that we do hold a special place in our org and are there for partucular reasons. Fame and/or good works is not a vald reason for membership into Omega. We need no one, nor do we seek them. If you value the membership, then pledge for it. With sororities, it is different.

Common misconceptions:

Shaq is not honorary
David Justice is not honorary
Steve Harvey is not honorary
Bill Cosby is not honorary
Michael Jordan is not honorary
Ahmad Rashad is not honorary
Mayor of Atlanta Bill Campell is not honorary

These men all sought Omega. I will say that only half of them "pledged", the others, intake. As far as I'm concerned, all intake is "honorary".

Yes, you do need people who is going to be resourceful financially. Most people after they graduate and especially the ones who so called "pledged" do not participate financially after they graduate. There are some that continue to pay dues to nationals or enter into a graduate chapter, but majority just walk around with a license plate or a t-shirt of their org and haven't given any money for years. 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.
