I went to a religious seminar at Ky. State Univ. this weekend and was shocked at the subject presented.
This program was presented by 2 ladies that denounced Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. They were members of Alpha Pi's Fall 2001 line, and they denounced their letters in June 2002.
A man by the name of Minister Fred Hatcher (sp?) spoke on GLOs (white and black) and Christianity, and why they don't mix. He has been speaking on this subject matter after denouncing Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc and the Masonic Order.
He said that you should not form a bond with anyone of unequal yoke (meaning faith) and that you should not join a GLO because the rituals of the GLOs require you to compromise your bond with Jesus Christ. He said that all the service that we do is in the name of the GLO and not Jesus Christ. Also, he pretty much stated that if you join a GLO, you are going to hell. But then, he was contradicting himself the whole time he was speaking too. And he try to down play Delta, Sorors. He was talking about Bishop Vashti Mackenzie, and a review she gave on a book.
I mean dang, if she liked the book, she liked it. Who cares what position she holds, she is HUMAN like everyone else. Minister Fred, also a website and here it is:

SFs, things do happen, and I don't try to persuade ANYONE's thoughts on anything, except for this:
You are your own person. Keep doing the things you do to keep your interest up and
KNOW what YOU want out of the org you are choosing. Don't let ANYONE deter you from living your life. If you want to pursue DST or any GLO, do it, but only b/c you have taken that long hard look at yourself and can see how the org fits YOU, and not how YOU fit the org. Keep GOD and Jesus in all that you do and you will know if GLOs are not right for you.
Sorors, if this message gets deleted, I understand. But it has to be know what some people are saying nowadays.
Alright, stepping down now....
