You're cool with me in general but in that PIKA thread you did come in there and say that EVERYONE was acting like an uneducated idiot. LOL. We could've really done without that if you were trying to enlighten and add a sense of closure to that thread.

I said that because the biggest offenders were really cutting the monkey......and no one said anything. Not, hey that was wrong. Not, you know that was uncalled for. Not, you are really distracting and Im trying to see how xyz squirms his way outa this one, so hold it down. Nothing. I could not understand that.

I thought it was a great thread...until it got ugly. Now I think its been deleted and I cant go back to it.

No, what she was trying to do was start some mess, thinking that the Deltas were going to jump on the BAD BAD Zetas bandwagon.

People may be weary of donating money (or paying dues) just as they were when the Red Cross was accused of not distributing money appropriately. However, this story hasn't made waves nationally quite yet.

As far as overshadowing the good ZPB has done, only smallminded people allow the mistakes of humanity to overthrow decades of success and service. To the best of their ability, I think it will be business as usual for local chapters of Zeta despite what's going on at IHQ. Our organizations have become much bigger than the people in them.

It is a statement of fact. I didnt say she was a slimeball. I didnt say she's going to hell. I dont know what she went through for her to arrive at that point. But I do know that whatever may have happened will affect her org.

The whole premise of the thread is disrespectful. Whether it is a statement of fact or not doesn't make your comment respectful. Either get out of denial, or quit trying to back pedal.

Yeah, and now you can't answer the questions I posed to you over there. But try it here. Do you think your post was a positive, productive addition to the thread, epecially since you said people were acting like uneducated idiots? Don't you consider that inflammatory?

Oh wait, probably not since you think you were being respectful about Barbara Moore.

Zeta Phi Beta has been a stellar organization for 86 years. The allegations, investigation, misuse of sorority funds was done by one member (that we know of). Her misuse of funds does not make Zeta Phi Beta any less of a stellar organization. If you want to be truthful, the actions/silence of the Zetas on GC are commendable and represent the ideals of their organzation.

What was revealed this week could have happened and has happened to many other organizations in the past, the present, and the future. There are dishonest, unscrupulous people everywhere, in all organizations, churches, schools, etc.

I know that this incident will only cause the members of Zeta Phi Beta to bind together and recommit themselves to the mission of their sorority.

Well said!

Yep. Remember how they did "us" after the incident in Cali? You never know when it's "your" turn to take us 2 steps back.

They= greeks, the media, non-greeks

But do you also remember how many of us came to the defense of AKA the organization, the same way we are doing so with Zeta? And if this thread had existed then, I doubt if any GC NPHC members would have put it in here.

Not to the same degree, unfortunately...
However, it's okay. Just like AKA got throught it, so will the Zetas.

That probably has to do with the different nature of the events.
