Sigmadiva, I hear you. But, I don't agree. You cannot lose what was never yours to begin. I don't think its fair to imply that most of our sister greeks necessarily chose the path of p&g or r&w simply because of the references Graham made to societal upward mobility. And if they did...well, better them than us.
Make no mistake, its not Zeta's loss. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority has her fair share of very affluent members. I digress.
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was not founded with the notion of being a social club. Just as a point of reference, anyone who is unclear about why or how Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1920 on the campus of Howard University please read

Stereotypes (even the ones that may seem good) are a BAD thing. We do not live in a generalized world. Perpetuating stereotypes and making gross generalizations is even worse. I said it once and I will say it again. Everyone is not Zeta material. And not all need apply.
