Did anyone see the Jet that has Aaliyah on the cover? The Jet beauty of the week is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.

Hello to all the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

I have 2 things to say:

1. Did anyone find it offensive that this young lady chose to state she is a member of your org while posing in a bikini?

2. Because I have a photographic memory I know I have met this young lady before, due to the fact that she is from Illinois, has further confirmed my theory. Does any here know Ms. Kishinna Foxie a graduate of Central State University?

1. What is wrong with wearing a bikini??

Every week a Jet Beauty wears a bikini, I don't care. Besides, Deltas go to the beach just like any other woman. If she has the body and is comfortable with it, then I say GO 'HEAD on SISTA GIRL

. She was not posing in Playboy or Penthouse.

2. I hung out with this chapter of sorors whenever we went to Central State or Wilberforce so if I saw the picture, I might recognize her.

I don't see a problem with wearing a bikini. In fact, I was proud to see she was a Delta!

I also don't have a problem with her wearing a bikini, Delta's do have sex appeal

I wasn't going to post because I had a differing opinion as well. I was not necessarily offended, but when I saw DST up under her description I was shocked. Jet Beauty has always been about showcasing (for lack of a better term) physical attributes. Nothing more, nothing less. They used to even give the woman's meaurements! Delta stands for so much more than the way we as Sorors look in a bikini, or "measure up". Yeah, she's got it...flaunt it. But I don't see it being any different as if she had been in playboy. She's still participating in a traditionally sexist venture, which our Founders fought against. Now, don't get me wrong, any one who wants to pose for whoever, whenever, however has that right, I just didn't think it was appropriate to mention Delta's name alongside it.

i wasn't going to post on the topic but i am glad that we have a soror that is a jet beauty of the week. it goes to show that Delta's are invloved in everything. women in general, now have the choice to chose whether they want become involved in things like these.

i wish they had a beauty of the week that had men...then it would balance it out.

but my question is what if it was a different magazine say...playboy or penthouse? would she then be degrading herself?

Well said soror, my sentiments exactly. I do not presume to tell anyone what to do with their body or life. However, when you present yourself as a member of Delta Sigma Theta, you are no longer just representing yourself, but the organization as well. Thus, careful consideration should be given to how and where you choose the represent DST. Posing for the beauty of the week is not, in my opinion, an appropriate time to represent our organization. Nevertheless, she is beautiful and I give her much props.

HEY! What's wrong with Penthouse?

Everyweek a woman in Penthouse wears nothin, I don't care. Besides Penthouse women take their clothes off like any other women. If she has the body and is comfortable gettin BUK (Not Butt) NAKED, then I say TAKE IT OFF GUUUU!
