That may well be, but if Side A isn't effectively communicating critical items to Side B (or vice versa), the receiving side can only go by what they know and experienced. That isn't to say show all your business, but rather let them know where you stand and why.

OTOH, if Derek didn't express those valid reasons in his FAQ and they were indeed communicated to him, that's a whole 'nother story altogether.

What's that adage, there are always 3 sides to a story: Side A, Side B, and the truth.

RainMan,
Did I not address my post to a specific person? And it wasn't you.

Now this one is directed at you.

Hence the reason GC has the PM feature to prevent such responses as these.

I can agree with that.

Yes, I did receive that e-mail. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks it sounds suspect

NONE of us will truly know what happens until we make it to the "Upper Room" and are able to ask our illustrious founders for ourselves. Considering that MEMBERS of both orgs. may not have every single fact, I doubt that some outsider, regardless of how much reading and research that he may have done, can "enlighten" the masses on anything. His films can only be based on hearsay and conjecture. [QUOTE]


Please put THAT in strobe lights!! Why are we beating a dead horse! There is no way I'll support an outside source telling me about AKA!

I have heard a lot of conversation about this "documentary" and many members of the org. believe that the movie won't profit as well as many other movies. As a prospect it is my opinion that on sheer interest alone it will do well. If the film is released to mass audiences and promoted well those (mostly undergrads) who are at the point where they crave anything Delta because they want to be in the know (no matter what that is assumed to be) the film will bring about a nice profit. I know as a nonmember who has read In Search of Sisterhood-when I was an undergrad I wanted more. More information-more knowledge and if this film is promoted as a factual account of events (even if it's not) then the Delta Prospects will make it a a winner in cinema. what do you all think? Also the comment about Why Delta? Well as much as it may be out of line or a bit disrespectful to produce without the blessing of the org-it's good business. i believe someone touched on it a bit earlier-but Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is a cash cow for this type of explotation. The largest sorority of the devinie nine...just reading the demogaphics of delta's members leaves one to know that the target audience for this film consist of well educated-paid-hungry for the arts type of women. Delta attracts the same type of woman it's already made of-so the well educated prospects-hungry for Delta-will go to the viewing.

Sure.
