Zeta Phi Beta Sorority IHQ Under Fire

[Bluejamm]

As a note to my NPHC family:

What you hear from the news is but one side of the story, sensationalized and the end result of something that, when you think about it, was and remains ZETA'S business. For any member of an organization to not work within the confines of the established rules for resolving internal issues is quite simply - wrong. There are ways to handle matters inside your organization - and if the 'light of truth' prevails - the resolution will come. Situations like this often happen when the resolution by the greater body is not accepted by a hell raiser who has a long history of being a hell raiser within the organization and in other organizations, such as their church, or even their own family. Sweet Zeta will continue to handle it's business in a way that exemplifies finer womanhood - and as all of our organizations are made up of 'people' - let us strive together to understand that this kind of one sided reporting could and may happen to any of our organizations. I'm praying for Zeta and all of my NPHC family!

Stay Blessed!

No I'm not. 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.

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.

Thank you for your observation. Still praying...and for you too! Be blessed.

I'm almost positive that you aren't praying for me. In fact, I'd rather you didn't because I don't know who the hell you are.

So, don't use "prayer" and "blessings" as an attempt at dismissiveness.

While I know we're being kind of religified right now I must point out how my entire post was side stepped in favor of a "Jesus" deflection...

The Sigma wanted to make himself the voice of Zeta but he didn't want to answer any questions. He'll pray for us all, though.
