To all those upset at the fact that I feel the way I do, too bad... I just do.
I reviewed my Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Constitution and Bylaws and I found out that ALL our symbols and mottos are trademarked and patented. That means the Coat of Arms, the Pin, the term "Fashionetta", the motto: "Service to All Mankind" and the name Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
I don't know what my Sorority's corporate office and international directorate will tell me at any upcoming meetings. So I cannot say what is in regards to the Delta Phi Upsilon Fraternity. I wish their organization well and I hope their pursuits are not in vain.
Anybody has a right to question anybody's ideas and statements in the United States. To do that is our right to freedom of speech as guarenteed by the US Constitution. However, it doesn't guarentee the repercussions and consequences taken against ones statements. As some of you cursing me out for my statements to question, I reiterate, all I was asking Mr. Charles was to THINK about what the reasons were to form the meanings behind his organization's symbols. I, myself, do not care what they are and I really do not want to know. But based on his statements regarding the history of his organization, I was trying to make my point clear that the usage of his organization's chosen symbols are really unoriginal in my opinion and I have that right.
If you do not think I have that right, so what!!! I do not really care. Because in the grand scheme of things, we can only leave this world one way and no one can get out of it...
