Pardon me, but I pledged at Howard and graduated from there. Your Sorors claimed Debbie. And the Phylicia was claimed by AKA. Considering both are very active in the Howard community, I had a chance to see them fairly often on campus during my time there.

FinerWoman, whose sorors claim Debbie Allen? Not Delta. We know that she's an AKA as well as her sister.

Maybe I'm reading your post incorrectly.

i've actually had the chance to meet Keisha Knight Pullam at Spelman a few days after she crossed and i might like to say she is something else...

I was under the assumption that Debbie Allen was a Delta also. Since the 411 says she's not, I have to take her word for it. (Who would know if she's a member or not better than an actual member?) However, I have never heard of Debbie being a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha either. Being fairly new to my organization...I really did not know so I have asked several sorors and this was news to them as well.

Mocha, she's obviously not greek at all. That's my conclusion.

Debbie & Pyllica are both AKA's. They are not Delta's.

can annyone prove that debbie is greek, for once and for all?

I spent about 30 minutes net-surfing for evidence this morning, and neither AKA nor DST makes mention of Debbie Allen when listing famous members. True enough, we can't list all of our renowned members, but one would think that we'd list all those phenomenal women who've reached the level and status of the likes of Debbie Allen... right? So, the fact that she's not mentioned by either organization (while her sister is consistently mentioned by AKA) is reason enough for me to conclude that she chose not to join either sorority.

So, I stand corrected.

Here's what an AKA said in their forum...

Yes Director, he is an Omega.

I was watching the Golden Girls tonight and during the commercial they advertised their Intimate Portrait show. I think Debbie Allen's story will be told next week, so maybe the answer will be told then. I know when the show was about Star Jones', it mentioned her joining AKA while in college.

I know for an absolute, 100% fact that Debbie Allen is not a Delta.

I know for a fact that Phylicia Rashad is an AKA because she was an honorary chairperson of an event for the AKA's in Houston a while back.

Not sure if Debbie is an AKA or not affliated with a BGLO, but I KNOW she's not a Delta.

Not knocking my older sorors in Delta, but the younger ones should know the prominent sorors....SHOULD because it's still fresh on our minds.

I know that the 411 quoted me, (thanks for trusting me girl, http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif),but if you ladies don't mind....

After speaking with a soror of mine from Alpha Chapter and other DC area AKA's it has been confirmed that Debbie Allen is neither an AKA or a Delta. She pledged AKA after her sister then dropped. So she is neither AKA nor Delta) Too bad, so sad! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Although it makes perfect sense to not allow someone to wear your nelia, seeing your letters on a popular t.v. show is like FREE PUBLICITY for your frat/sorority. I'm sure the Network legal team approached the organizations in question for permission if they planned to use a non-member sporting the nelia in a shot. With that in mind, I'm sure not all actors/actresses are members of these organizations. I do, however, concede the possibility of these actors/actresses being members.

No offense, but Debbie Allen is not an AKA. Her sister Phylisia Rashad is an AKA.
