Oh my and only 40 years old. So sad.

[neosoul]

the president of the DC chapter of G Phi G was on the Russ Parr show this morning giving condolences to some person named Kim who I think was Levert's baby mama or someone special in is life... I spat out my hash brown when she introduced herself...

^^^^
I think he was dating Kym Whitley at the time of his death.

OMG I just saw this

they should seek help asap

As much as I loved Gerald Levert, even cried when he died and the tribute on the BET Awards, I don't think its that serious to have a sorority for him. Maybe just a fan club will do just good...

I see they've updated the site. When I heard of his passing, I wondered how his sorors (do I call them that??) would deal with it.

Cleveland's WZAK (93.1FM) is broadcasting live from Gerald LeVert Lane because today would have been his 41st birthday. They are interviewing two women (GL fans) who are from Louisiana.

...anybody seen AKA2D'91, today?

It always amazes me how non-greek groups use greek letters to define themselves...are there no other names left?!?!? At Jackson State, there is a gospel group called
G Phi G which stands for Glorify God
(ie, Glory-Phi-God). I mean if greeks are always getting pointed out for having bad images, why are groups so quick to jump on the "greek-name" bandwagon?

What is the big comotion over this group? Yes, I don't agree in idolizing a man but they aren't harming ANYONE. Are they stealing interestees from your organization ~ NO! Why do greeks and non-greeks make a big deal because a group (new or old, especially blacks) decides to incorporate a greek letter in their name or use greek letters in its entirety (sp). Why are well and established greek organizations constantly condemning new groups that are emerging whether it be black or a multi-cultural organization. Can't it just be that the current nine choices for lets say BLACKS aren't appealing anymore and its time for a NEW THING.

These are just my thoughts..

Well the opposite to that question can be asked, "WHY DO NON-GREEKS MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT BEING GREEK", "WHY DO THEY HAVE TO USE GREEK LETTERS TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES?"

Can't it just be that the current nine choices for lets say BLACKS aren't appealing anymore and its time for a NEW THING.

Fist of all, the current nine choices don't IDOLIZE anyone. So of course they aren't going to be appealing for people who want to obsess/worship/jock/sweat someone.

Second, there are PLENTY of other choices that people can choose, especially NON-GREEK choices where one can start a NEW THING.

They could have identified themselves as the National Association for the Betterment of Gerald Levert-NABGL. However, these women call themselves "Girl's Primary Honey Is Gerald". The proper acronym is G.P.H.I.G., not G PHI G if one wants to get technical.

These grown women should know better.

Maybe because I am NOT a member of Greek organization I do NOT understand! However, membership in the current nine orgs are continuously growing which shows people are still interested in those orgs...

How do you know these women AREN't MEMBERS of a greek organization! We don't know that. All we know is that they started an org interested in the recognition, blah, blah, of Gerald Levert!

I'm not trying to be disrespectful towards any current greek member...I just don't understand the hoopla over this!

I Would sure hope that these women are not members of any greek organization...because I would see it as blatant disrespect to their respective organization. All I see is a step above a groupie. A high-class fan club. Ladies get a GRIP!!
