one of the last scenes was PJ coming over to Appak Univ to visit Johanna, and on the bus she meets a soror who speaks of their line, and that is where she sees Johanna pledging. They speak but the soap stopped at that point.

you stop! there was an Appak U?! LMAO

jojapeach 05-18-2008 09:20 PM

I remember Appak U was somewhere out yonder from Ahpla... and Amgis. :rolleyes: :D

lil_sunshine 05-19-2008 12:53 PM

Yes there is an Appak U. and a few Ahpla students transferred there, including Gwen after breaking up with Calvin. And Jahanna was on line for Alpha Kappa Alpha at Appak. She transferred b/c she couldn't join at Ahpla. She was talking to her brother (I forgot his name) and she was saying how her line sisters were getting on her nerves when PJ comes in to her room saying that she didn't know that pledges could have phone priviileges and promptly hung up the phone.

Also, the Kappa that contracted an STD from Shareesa was Gregg. Towards the end of season 4, Shareesa was dating Ahmad and they broke up b/c she brought him to a social event for her job and lied about what Ahmad did- he was a college student.

As much of an ATSB junkie I am I have yet to read the 1st ep.

I agree with everyone else about the jump in time.

I need to know why Mona was not hanged or something. What the hell is up with Trina/Ronnie/Caryn. I wanna know is Gregg (Kappa) still chasing PJ.

Oh well.....I'm gonna read these eps and come back tomorrow.

All of these new characters......:mad:

I like the idea of homecoming wrapping up any loose ends. It's a little bit of a disservice to your fan base to leave EVERYTHING up in the air like that.

I do like the new writer.

I mean, really. Ahpla, Amgis and Appak. :rolleyes: If we find out there is a Agemo College I will quit this soap. :rolleyes::confused::p

IlovemyAKA 05-22-2008 01:32 AM

The new one's up. Just when it gets to drama, it's over.

1908Revelations 05-22-2008 08:03 PM

Taylor (the White girl) nneds to let that man GO!!! He is full of it!

I am waiting for the Fall of Mona. LOL

tld221 05-25-2008 03:04 PM

i read this last episode in 45 seconds. im over it. i understand you have to drag a story out, but nothing really happened in the last couple episodes to move the story along.

I thought it was just me at the bolded part. We're still at the Convocation (or whatever). Don't tell me this whole thing will take the first 10 episodes. Plus, we haven't been properly reintroduced to Mona and her antics. Mona should be entertaining us this coming Thursday. I really don't need to be sure to meet all of the characters before drama ensues.

If this was any other random soap, I'd ditch it. Since this is ATSB, I'm really trying to ride this out. The best juice so far is Taylor. Bold enough to be a white woman in a historically black sorority at a HBCU, but she picks the one black man that's not bold enough to embrace her in front of the rest of the world. Just sad...but fun to watch. :p

tld221 05-29-2008 02:04 PM

Mona is SO buggin. i smell an upcoming revolt!

i wanna know what's up with the treasurer. why the Zeta gotta be wrapped up in budget problems?

ETA: im just waiting to see how the writers justify Mona's asinine rules. none of it makes sense in relation to ANYTHING.

A revolt is an UNDERSTATEMENT! This underminds the fact that she is paper, because the stuff she is saying (colors) is common knowledge. Maybe the writers are trying to find a way to get her jumped. If that is the case I am :D.

THe Zeta and the budget problems; the AKA (Mona) being extra paper* are just co-inki-dinks.

*yeah they should have followed the rules (back a long time ago), but Mona needed (and needs) something done to her. ASAP

i almost want to say that she messes up info like that on purpose. why, i dont know, but even the paperest of all paper folks should know who wears what colors. and how many orgs are in D9. hell, its right there!

This is true. She has invented a new category of paper...shreded, crosscut, cat paper? IDK, but whatever it is Mona is it.

I am ready for the throwdown. Oh yeah...the eps didn't use to be this short either.

jojapeach 05-29-2008 03:12 PM

I'm actually disappointed that Mona is this over the top. She sounded like true Mona when she called the students "little students". I wasn't ready. However, I've never met or heard of anyone that remotely ignorant about Greek Life, especially a member of the D9. It's too much.

FOR REAL. :rolleyes: We are so being shortchanged. Can we get three scenes like we used to back in the day?

Prhototype22 05-29-2008 05:39 PM

So I'm the only person that got confused the first time I read her rules? :confused: Okay. They have Mona doin' way too much. It would be better (read: more entertaining) if her level of ignorance was more subtle and they brought more of her arrogance and general attitude back out like before. That "little students" bit made me laugh.

PJ returns next week!! :)

jitterbug13 06-05-2008 08:08 PM

It's up now. I checked it a few hours ago. And if your are on FB, don't forget to join the ATSB Group.

IlovemyAKA 06-12-2008 04:17 PM

I like the new episode. It's a little longer.

jitterbug13 06-12-2008 04:24 PM

Get her, PJ, get her! :D

And Melinda with someone else's spouse: :eek:

rbm 06-17-2008 10:50 AM

ok so i just got through season one but can someone clarify things for me please? my thinking is that the original writer did seasons 1-4 and BET did a spinoff for season 3? the original writer also wrote another series called beyond the burning sands with different people? and now new writers are picking up the original writer's story at the same school-ahpla? also on one site i found a finale for season one but it's not on the original pg on blogspot. does anyone know who wrote this finale? any helpful response would be greatly appreciated. thanks alot :) i'm really enjoying so far. now on to season 2

so this is an add-on. i just started season 2 and trina tells caryn that she had a masicarriage and that Bobby is mad at her but I thought Trina already told Caryn that she was lying about being pregnant. what's going on here?

IlovemyAKA 08-09-2008 08:01 PM

TTT

Is anyone still keeping up? I remembered it today, and read the last few episodes. Old characters are back for Homecoming!! :D
It's a tribute to the 10th anniversary, and will run the entire month of August.

There's Buck, Miya, Sharonda, Gregg, Mike, June, & Denise so far. The only one who had a little drama revealed so far is Denise.

tld221 08-10-2008 05:40 PM

werent Mona and Miya cousins and not sisters? come on ADoP get it together.

IlovemyAKA 08-10-2008 09:41 PM

Nope. They were sisters. Remember, Mona was trying to make Miya be an AKA was mad to find Miya had gone to the Zeta informational?

tld221 08-10-2008 11:19 PM

^^^ i guess so.

i wanna see what happened with Trina and Caryn :) and the baby.

Sharonda the Zeta was cousins with Mona and Miya

IlovemyAKA 08-21-2008 10:49 AM

Greg & Bobby are some damn fools.

IlovemyAKA 10-23-2008 09:45 PM

TTT

How does Mona's reputation not precede her? She's on that bull.

jojapeach 10-26-2008 12:52 PM

I haven't figured that out yet, SisterGreek. I find it odd that this story has these young ladies in this predicament despite the direction that Black Greek Life has moved into over the years. They have questions but have NONE of the answers about their interactions with "Big Sister" and the rest of the Ahpla chapter. That's just fascinating to me in 2008 when interests are encouraged to ask questions and understand the rules.

Honestly, I'd like to see someone start a process. We're in the 26th episode..., and there's no informational, tea, formal rush, or even blatant kissing up. Just a known Zeta interest asking questions of a Sigma... I keep trying to keep hope alive for this just b/c I love having a story about BGLO and HBCU life.

jojapeach 11-06-2008 04:17 PM

OK. I keep forgetting that above all else, this is a soap, and soaps don't always mirror reality at all. The situation with the alleged "ivies" is killing me.

LOL @ Big Sister Paper Weight. For real? LOL

IlovemyAKA 11-06-2008 07:04 PM

haha--I haven't read today's episode yet.

I'll come back with comments. As far as the thread goes, it looks like the 2 of us are the only ones still following along.

Oh, & you're right. It's time for something to start.

lil_sunshine 11-07-2008 01:56 PM

I'm following along, but I don't really have any comments other than to say I can't wait for P.J. to find out what's really good with what Mona's up to..... :D

Everything else: all in due time.....

OhSoVeryLadylike 11-07-2008 03:58 PM

Reading also.

txdiva 11-07-2008 11:30 PM

Me too!

IlovemyAKA 11-08-2008 05:39 PM

lol--I stand corrected.

idied @
LaShonda: There were 12 people on your line?

Mona: No. That was just my number

<---also can't wait for PJ to find out:D

PearlRuby 11-11-2008 03:05 PM

I read every week also. Would like to see a little more momentum.
