Angry That's not right. . .

Sorhors,

I must say that after reading Ebony's magazine for July 2002 and checking out their calendar events the Blue-ti-ful Ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho have a serious bone to pick with them about their lack of respect and willingness to include the many wonderful things that Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. does on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. Moreover, if you really check out all of the articles they present about the membership of the divine 9 you will notice how little information they actually give to us, Zeta Phi Beta, Phi Beta Sigma and Iota Phi Theta and that's not right. This has been going on since that magazine was organized. . .

When African American magazines, vendors, and websites constantly exclude the work that we do for the community I say that it's time for us to not take that lack of respect sitting down. I know that on many occassions I have written letters and now I'm at the point where I no longer purchase magazines or even stop by vendors' tables that are disrespectful to my beloved sorority. What I am doing is being proactive and speaking out and letting those ignorant people know that no matter how hard they try to overlook, exclude, or ignore Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. that is when we become stronger and the more we will continue to strive for "Greater Service, Greater Progress."

I'm still a little mad but I feel much better in getting that off my chest! Yes, there still is a double standard within the African American Greek system and folks the only way to put a stop to this unfair behavior is to speak up and speak out.
