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.

What's up Brutha.
I was in that similar seat years ago; and like you, didn't get the position. I found out later that the executive brother owed a favor to the top guy, and paid his debt with the job I had hoped for. The brother told me this immediately after hiring the other guy. It was a bitter pill for me to take. I know how pissed you are. I hope you don't blame the entire fraternity for this dude's failure to keep his obligation.
