Male "Sorority" Controversy at Tennessee State

[Ch2tf]

Wolfman,
Too "funny" that you just posted this, as I was just speaking about this to your wife not even 3 minutes ago. She referred me to some websites, and I honestly don't understand it...you can be interested in ABC all you want, but if the organization doesn't accept (and will never accept) males, then what exactly is it that they (think) they are doing.

I don't know but I wonder if this is an expression of some type of underground gay subculture on this HBCU, analogous to the drag scene but finding its particular "face" in traditional black sororities which have a lot of cache.

i mean, they're auxiliary groups. Delta Gents/Beax, MiAKAs(who those dudes are), Zeta Knights, & the ever so famous Sigma Rhomeos(even tho they've disaffiliated with SG Rho and became their own entity...they'll still always be male SG Rhos to me)...but these dudes took that shit to the next level. I mean if they wanted to do that shit, they should have pledge D9 frat(i'm not even gonna joke on anyone) or created their own org. so this isnt a new trend as far as these auxiliary groups, but tha flamboyantness was OD in that shit...the dudes i know that have been in an auxiliary group are str8 and are members of either Alpha, Kappa, Que, Iota or Sigma.

i am confused. can you please clarify? there are in fact auxilary groups for men to each of the nphc sororities, but the specific students discussed in the news piece are not members of an auxiliary group. these students have "initiated" (and i use that term loosely) themselves into one of the d9 orgs?

You know how there are women that we call "perps" that falsely claim to be D9 members? It's the same thing except it's MEN.

I recall reading somewhere on GC that Alpha Kappa Alpha's national president has released a statement saying that action is being taken against these groups (since they are falsely using the sororities' insignia and letters).

KSU Violet06 is correct. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated has NO affiliation with male groups who pose as members. We do not have auxillary organizations, and do not recognize those who claim to be affiliated with our organization.

Thats a little femme. Those boys need to butch up.

Are they like fraternity little sisters, where they functon in support of the sorority?

Which means the local sorority chapter would be unofficially affiliated with them.
