That website has a place for feedback on that article, and after reading what has been posted there, I can see that some members of Zeta Phi Beta are upset that this has become public. Others seem to be happy that it's being made public.

I can understand wanting to keep dirty laundry to yourselves. But this is more than just dirty laundry- it's a crime. It's also a public matter. Nonprofit organizations all undergo a great deal of scrutiny and are subject to very specific rules and regulations, by both the IRS and their state attorney generals. It goes along with the tax benefits. The accused, and anyone else who may have helped in the abuse of funds, was put in trust of the money. $400,000 is a LOT of money to a GLO.

If these allegations are true, and it seems like there's a lot of documentation, this may be an eye opener for all GLOs. Not only to have stricter regulations and policies for safeguarding the funds of the organization, but also to deter anyone else in a position of power in a GLO to think about doing something like this.

I'm sorry it had to happen to ZPhiB, and I feel for its members, but i'm glad that this is public. It is something that we should all be aware of.
