An Unauthorized Delta Book

Greetings, ladies. . .

First of all, I am really not trying to be a hater. . .but after some thought, and placing myself in your shoes, I thought I should bring this to your attention. (I did a search and did not find any results for this topic; if this has been discussed, forgive me.)

On ebay, there is an auction for a new book titled Above and Beyond: An Unauthorized History of Delta Sigma Theta . It is by Walter "Big Walt" Anderson, the same man who brought us the straight-to-video "Frat Daze" and a book called Pledge Brothers, which is supposed to be the novelized form of "Frat Daze."

Here is the link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2136651762

All I have to say is:

1) I would not want a non-member of my organization profiting from the history of my organization. (Not that thousands of people are sweating APO, but, you know. . .)

2) Just remember that there can't be a profit if no one bids on it. What can a non-member tell a prospective in 127 pages that In Search of Sisterhood or deltasigmatheta.org can't teach?



Like I said, I'm not trying to be a hater. I'm a writer myself, and I would not write a history of one organization without their consent. It's just not right to me.
