To make a long story short, I was shocked to find out I was not selected for the position after the interview. I was qualified for the position and had an outstanding interview based on the feedback following the interview. In addition, I was not the only Alpha to interview for the position. The part that really hurt, the BROTHER hired a white male. This has caused me to question my allegiance to Alpha Phi Alpha. I thought the purpose was to reach back and help one another. If not another Alpha Man, another black male if better qualified for the job.
What up with the spy among us?? Has anyone experienced this same type of situation. I need help to get through this situation. I want to return in my pin and letters.

Brother-
The fact that you question your allegiance to our dear fraternity based on one action of a bro that, yes may have pissed you off, but has nothing to do with the fraternity itself is a bit much. Give of your pin and letters????? This is the first time I ever heard a brother say this, but I guess there is a first time for everything. As I was taught, it isn't what your frat can do for you, but what you can and should be doing for the frat. As someone previously stated, maybe there was some reason the interviewer felt you were not qualified and if you feel that you were then approach that brother and find out what you need to do to make sure you get it the next time. Maybe you were qualified, but something else prevented you from getting your desired postion. At any rate I hope you get what you feel you deserve.
