I can't believe it has made TV news. MIAKAs as well as other sorority "male groups", i.e. Delta Beaux/Gents have been around for years. And until now they have been ignored.
I guess Joseph has gotten his 15 minutes of fame and more. 
But then how different is it than female members of fraternity aux groups who dress and act like the fraternity members--read: Omega Pearls/Gems? There are a lots of pics on the Net showing that, too. Wolfman why don't you post those? |
I posted this because it was a news story.It has, because of the certain actions on that campus, become a story that has merited some media attention. That's what was noteworthy to me.I've seen all kinds of pics from Que Pearls that have crossed the lines and I've seen a lot of heated dialogue by Ques in our circles. To my knowledge, there haven't been attempts of these women to actually try to replicate Omega Psi Phi and claim to be Ques.If there was a news story out there about it, I'd post that too. Why be so defensive? It makes no sense. My interest is sociological just as much as it about Greek life. It definitely has something to do with the construals of gender,gender relations and how it intersects with sexuality in the African American community,which has implications for far more important matters that affect the community, I think.
