I've wondered--do honorary members in NPHC groups have the same rights and privileges as members? By virtue of them being called honorary members instead of something closer to alumnae initiates, I assumed that that wasn't the case, but I have no idea if that's true. If we're not allowed to know, forget I ever asked. I hope the question doesn't offend anyone.

For SGRho, no they do not.

ETA: She was inducted at AKA's centennial convention in 2008.

You're right. The NYT article says:

Mrs. Obama's membership is non-exclusive because she said she has respect for all 4 NPHC sororities.
