Wikeipedia is [u]not reliable[/]. It has Loretta Devineand other notables as (an) honorary soror(s). She is not listed as a HM in AKA books. I was under the impression that she pledged as an UG (not sure when UofH's chapter was chartered) @ UofH, her alma mater.

Epsilon Lambda was chartered in 1969. Loretta Divine (Waiting to Exhale, Boston Public) is a product of Epsilon Lambda. http://www.uhaka.com/history/chapter.html

Thanks!

Therefore, wikipedia is not a reliable source of information.

Cool project!

I think what happens is some of our fraternity brothers and sorority sisters as well as non-Greeks provide incorrect information about who is a member or not based on what they heard, not what they know for sure. It is up to those who are in the know to provide the accurate information about our orgs.

I agree.

When I was a neo, I created my chapter's website and my personal mission was to create a "Prominent Alphas" page that was thorough and inclusive, yet accurate.

I got on my regional listserv and asked for assistance, but I told Brothers that I would not include Brothers whose membership we couldn't verify.

So we had a lot of hurt feelings when I wouldn't list Tim Reid, Sr., but I listed Christopher Darden. But, as time went on, Bros understood why I couldn't count an appearance in a sweatshirt on "Sister, Sister" as the standard of verification.

I think the people working on Wikipedia have a good thing going and certain orgs have a better standard than others, but that's not a bad reflection on the org, just an indicator on which groups have the bigger open-source nerds, lol.

Very much akin to people really believing that Kellie Shanygne Williams BKA Laura Winslow is a Delta based upon a Moesha episode.

The one about Enjoying the Rewards from Heaven in 2007? I got it from my pastor. His theme for '07 is Tasting the Rewards from Heaven in 2007. You'd have to hear it in the context of his sermon to get that part, so I changed it to Enjoying the Rewards.

I'll go back to it after MLK and Founder's Day!

There's an Atlanta magazine/newspaper, Rolling Out, that focuses on entertainment in Atlanta. To be brief, there was a paragraph mentioning the founding of Delta Sigma Theta. The last sentence gave names of notable members including Angela Bassett. I hadn't heard that one before, but I wanted to come to my knowledgeable researchers to be sure.

I did some Internet research and barely found anything.

Thanks in advance!

I would love for her to be one but alas tis not true unless something changed in the recent weeks.

It would be cool to have her as a Greek Sister, but I just want a PRINT publication to be on top of their information. Don't just rattle off names that sound good. Just throwing a name in there without mentioning say Lena Horne, Dr. Betty Shabazz, or Barbara Jordan made that error even bigger to me.

Angela is one of my favorite actresses. I would love for her to be a Delta, too!
