Thank you, lastpoetnsite for your understanding.
Ladies, as eloquent and as articulate as some of you have called me, I am out of words. If any of you visit our website again at delta-phi-upsilon.org, you will find certain changes have been implemented. Like I promised, the purpose has been revised. The public motto has also been revised to "Reaching the World Through Service To Our Kind," which in all honesty always was the motto, we've just always used the shorter phrase, so that's not too drastic a change for us internally. I hope this satisfies some of you, but I realize that it won't satisfy all of you. That's ok. Delta Phi Upsilon does not wish to have Alpha Kappa Alpha as an enemy, nationally or locally. Personally and organizationally, we hold Alpha Kappa Alpha and all the other members of the NPHC in the highest regard. This will be my final post to this forum as we will not continue to justify or defend our traditions to anyone. They hold a totally different meaning to us and we love them just as you do. I will take the advice of one of the posters and contact the AKA headquarters tomorrow regarding this. Thank you, as always for listening. This has been a most enlightening and informative discussion.
Yours in Greekdom,
Trevor Charles
Executive Director
Delta Phi Upsilon Fraternity
