THen you have the nerve to talk about other sororities. They must be doint something right considering they've been around for almost a hundred years starting with Alpha Phi Alphi Fraternity, incorporated which was founded in 1906.
You dimwits seem to forget a very important thing about organizations, maybe you need some history lessons.
Freedom was hard won by Africans Americans. We were lynched, raped, beat, betrayed etc... The KKK poisoned the minds of thousands. We were lynched in military uniforms fighting for the country we were brought into. Later we were forced into ghettos, segregated through pay dividends where only a few managed to escape and still do today. Our ancesters created suppoort networks becuase of this consisting of banks, churches, schools, universities, colleges, and the list goes on. OUt of all of this grief, stife, pain, self-discrimination, saness, self-hate, self-destruction, African American Greek Letter organizations joined the support chain. They are here to do good, not to tear down the foundation of why they arose. You need to get it together people and think about what comes out of your mouth and from your fingers as you talk about other organizations.

i AM having a difficult time trying to dicipher who exactly you are upset with, and why. What do you mean by bringing down our sororities? Who are you accusing of not going to a community service projects? Are you in a sorority yourself? No one is perfect, and all organizations talk about one another. There is nothing wrong with healthy competition. You seem to be very disgruntled and I wonder why.
