Michelle Obama Joins Alpha Kappa Alpha. A must Read
This maybe old news, but it's new news for me.

Are the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority the only sorority handing out honorary memberships to famous people?

I'm not going to support the First Lady Michelle Obama after hearing about this. I have personal reasons because of a family member belonging to this sorority. For some, life is a struggle and I don't like the way most members look at African American males who are struggling, it's the way a white person would look at a black student who come from a low-income family with free tuition. I'm not going to support Michelle Obama, I know, that doesn't mean much to the Alpha Kappa Alpha or the First Lady, she want hear about it, but just like Alicia Keys after she accepted an invitation to become an honorary member, I haven't brought a CD yet after that. I know my $15.00 bucks don't mean much, but that's my personal choice.

The comments at the bottom of the article tell it all.

I didn’t know this is what highly educated Princeton University lawyers needed to do to make contacts. I thought the alumni network was enough.

Do you suppose it was through her contact with AKA that Michele Obama got her $300k/year job as “Director of Minority Outreach” at a Chicago med center?

Michelle Obama has always stood on her own. Her credentials are stellar and she has made great strides in society.

Why does Michele Obama “need” to join a “Black” sisterhood when she already has the advantages of an elite university’s alumni bank that includes blacks, whites, males, females AND she’s already making $300k/year promoting “diversity?”

Let’s not forget that this same sorority discriminated against its own black people. Specifically, blacks could not join if their skin tone was darker than a brown paper bag. Why would anyone in their right mind want to be associated with such a sorority?

Michelle Obama Joins Alpha Kappa Alpha, a Historically Black Sorority

Michelle Obama has accepted an invitation to become an honorary member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, ending weeks of speculation on historically black college campuses about which, if any, sorority she would join.

Ms. Obama did not join a sorority while a undergraduate at Princeton, and Alpha Kappa Alpha, which was founded at Howard University in 1908, did not have a chapter on the campus at the time.

The sorority, which also counts Brown University President Ruth J. Simmons among its honorary members, told The New York Times that once Ms. Obama is inducted into the sorority, she cannot join any of the other “divine nine,” as black sororities and fraternities are often called.

But a spokeswoman for Ms. Obama said that her membership was non-exclusive.

“She looks forward to working with all of them to help bring change to their communities,” the spokeswoman told the Times.

point?
Point?....No black person in their right mind would join such an organization this day in age

Point :)
And what is wrong with the fraternities or sorrorities? I don't belong to any, yet I understand why some join as another social network for fellowship and support in common goals and ideals. What then, is wrong with a fraternity or sorrority?

If the answer is because they are "black", there are also predominately "white" groups as well, but none on either side of the "color spectrum" indicate that you have to be "black" or "white". It was originally that way during the segragation times as the "black" people were not ALLOWED to fratenize with the "white" people, but those issues/rules have now been changed.

With that, I ask in humility, why should they be avoided? Please provide sound information and not just opinions based on personal reasons of dislike. I ask to be educated, not to argue.

Thanks
I think i went over this in the Doctrine under a thread called "Sleep or See" part 2

This is part 2 of "Sleep or See" part 1

I think this is important because we have many respected members that belong to the church and are suppose to be pillars of the community & pillars of society, it is not just about being a hypocrite, it's about the ritual they practice.

A secret society in America called The Boulé. Most think they are a disgusting group of Black men and women. The claim is that members of this group have always posed as Freedom Fighters or Civil Rights Activists, but they really are suppose to be working with the white race their masters at maintaining the grip of white supremacy on the people of color around the world.

Dr. Henry Minton (who later joined the first collegiate African American fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha) invited five of his colleagues (Dr.’s Eugene T. Henson, Edwin Clarence Howard, Algernon Brashear Jackson, Robert Jones Abele and Richard John Warrick), all doctors working in Philadelphia to join him in organizing a social organization that would “bring together a select group of men with a minimum degree of superior education and culture-men who were congenial, tolerant, and hospitable.” This organization is known as the Boulé.

I been aware of the connection since the 90's, this is nothing new for me, but for those that are not aware. Freemasonry and Fraternities Part 2 pages 1-44

I can understand the First Lady Michael Obama supporting the Divine Nine. I'm sure her and President Obama will support any organization that's foundation is built on being pillars of the community & active in raising millions of dollars in charity I'm sure President Obama & the First Lady Michael Obama will support any black, white, Asian, Indian, Latino, sororities & fraternities . What we are talking about is a honorary membership after 20 years out of college. Hillary Clinton didn't accept when the Alpha Kappa Alpha publicly asked her to join while Mrs. Clinton was running for office. Secretary of State Mrs. Clinton turned them down, but she will still support the sorority, but of course they don't see the cancer some members bring to the organization the manipulation and control over others and I'm sure many will say that's in any organization but how many members die trying to join those organization, plus, I think every one can tell what the Alpha Kappa Alpha is up to when they ask famous wealthy people with a lot of contacts and power to join their sorority. I grew up loved by, most, if not all, of the Divine Nine members that I knew, since grade school. I had groups since Jr. high, if you wanted in you was pledged in, the hard way. But back than, of course, a lot of those BGL members came out the hood & had a strong connection to them communities. Today most come 3rd & fourth generation suburb kids from a privet school, nothing wrong with that success is OK. But as it stand I want support the First Lady Michael Obama. I'm sure it want hurt her any.
