Hey Sorors:
dstdiva49, I will e-mail you so you can send me what you have. Not to take away from your message but it may be the same message that was posted earlier yesterday in the AKA forum. It is titles "Stepshow Behavior" and was posted by AKAtude (for anyone who is interested). If it the same message by someone in administration at a college, it is very sad.
There was oncea day when stepshows were family events...not now, though.
In reading his message, I pray that none of the women who were simulaying these acts were our Sorors, but it being a Black woman in ANY sorority is a shame.
There are people who want to join DST for social purposes ONLY. These people will most likely, not see a problem with perpetuating such behavior. In deciding who is worthy of our esteemed Sisterhood, that should be taken into consideration. That sounds obvious, however, not one of us can account for what happens at every college campus across the nation.
I have been to shows where certain acts were simulated and when sorority names were called out, people held up the sign and gave up the calls as if proud.
We, as women, have to evaluate where we stand on issues of what it means to be a positive BLACK woman and role model for our children and community.
I can't wait to hear my Sorors and sisterfriend's and other's comments.
