Of course, no one condones selling of the degrees, i.e., making a profit from them. Yet, in AASR-SJ, we charge for the 33. In UGLE we charge for promotion to past rank.
One wonders how much responsibility the GLs of the CGMNA bear responsibility for the particular problem of bogus GLs in the African American community, as we in the State GLs labeled all of them clandestine, an error still extant. If all are clandestine (to the majority view), then why does it matter which clandestine group I join?
In CGMNA GLs, there is a list of lodges available to make decisions about who to admit. Remember, not all GLs issue cards.
Additionally, the root problem pointed out by some is that the petitioner doesn't know what's legit and what is clandestine. A central repository won't do any good.
UGLE isn't the grand arbiter of regularity. Indeed, they recognize a different GL in Italy than CGMNA GLs. Many CGMNA GLs have not suspended recognition with GLNF, as the Home GLs have done.
Oh, I am actually sojourning in Maryland this weekend.
