Are you kidding me?

Why would you think I'm kidding? Flesh out your train of thought. I wouldn't want you to be confused.

I'm not confused. I'm also not a lemming.

When a fraternity or sorority hazes, it makes the news. Hazing is a crime, as is assault. Crimes are newsworthy, particularly those committed by college students against other college students.

Theft is also a crime. When the leader of a non-profit organization steals -- or is accused of theft -- it, too, is newsworthy. Also newsworthy is the fact that the one person who stood up against the alleged crime was expelled from the organization -- that's a problem.

No offense to your sorors and I love them all, but sometimes you just can't handle an issue internally, especially when it involves a crime.

"Stop snitchin'" doesn't apply here. Sorry. If I was in the same position, I'd blow the whistle too, "Alpha business" be damned.

I hope that when you speak to the media about an Alpha family issue - you tell the whole story. It didn't go down like that in the ATL. Not at all. There is a history/pattern that is deeper then the story ya'll saw. Thanks for your input and regardless of how you feel - pray for the best AND for justice. It's what we can all do!

Be Blessed,

So what IS the whole story, since you seem to know so much?

Blujamm,
Your siggy confuses me. Are you a Phi Beta Sigma, Alpha Phi Omega, Sigma Gamma Rho?

If you are a Phi Beta Sigma, constitutional bond or not, how do you know so much about what went on in the ATL in a Zeta meeting? Sounds like you are the one all up in ZETA's business.

Bluejamm · #**142** 03-18-2007, 04:30 PM

ladygreek, I'm a Sigma Man. - 1914? ...I'll turn my signature the bluest of blue so you won't be confused. I'll not comment further on the issue...except to exclaim with clarity to the children of the dove...G.O.M.A.B. They understand...they understand...

Well what color was it before you turned it blue? Did it say something else? Just asking cuz I don't understand how a name like "BlueJamn1914" could be interpreted as anything BUT Phi Beta Sigma.......

BlueReign · #**144** 03-18-2007, 06:42 PM

Some of the signature was in gold. Thanks Ladygreek. I'm glad you noticed it too.

This post made me giggle.

You start off typing about how we've only read one side, and this remains Zeta business, but you're not a Zeta and you're typing about it. And instead of leaving it at your first sentence you type up a We Shall Overcome speech as if we haven't read/heard enough of those.

Exactly.

I agree that it is Zeta's business, even though I think this situation is something that all our orgs can learn from. And you're right, Zeta Phi Beta will get through this.

However, let me NEVER be brainwashed enough for someone to steal my dayum money and I don't blow the whistle. NEVER.

I think having gold along with the blue was causing the confusion. Right date, wrong colors. But it's all cleared up now

PhrozenGenius · #**150** 03-19-2007, 12:20 PM

IF the whole story is not being told then A) why did the district attorney have such a hard time attempting to get information from Zeta and B) why haven't they issued a press release or any form of propaganda attempting to clear their name?

Public Opinion is often regarded as truth in cases such as these. It is open season on organizations and entities with allegations of fiscal misconduct and impropriety.

If Ms. Moore and her merry band of "blutiful" cohorts are not stealing money then why are they so secretive about it? Why wouldn't you let members of your sorority into the National Headquarters? That reeks of criminal activity.

If the D.C. District Attorney says that this has been one of the toughest groups that he has ever to get information from, then that's a really bad look. The DA deals with the mafia, various organized crime entities and THE REPUBLICAN PARTY on a regular basis....

The light of the truth appears to be there it's just shining on the now excommunicated lady...
