Membership is a lifelong committment. You can't allow people to join because you feel a PERSONAL obligation. If they don't get accepted this year, they may get accepted another year. Some people just need time to mature.
I was speaking with some sorors over the weekend and one of them said something to me that I thought was very salient. She said "I belong to Alpha Kappa Alpha. Alpha Kappa Alpha does NOT belong to me."

Soror Sahara, I love that quote. It's something to think about.
And as someone who received the opportunity to belong to Alpha Kappa Alpha 14 years after graduation, it is well worth the wait.
