Who wrote this? Is she even in a sorority (even if she were, she could only speak for her sorority--if even that)? Have the respective headquarters been contacted with regards to the use of our shields?
Booooooo BET!

That is just skrait ugly... BET is notorious for doing things inappropriately with the NPHC affiliates... This might take another silent boycott again!
How in their right mind would they fathom thinking that anything like this is appropriate without contacting at least the NPHC HQ. Dayum!!!

That's turrible... it's not that hard to go to any of the NPHC Natl websites and at least find the crest. The author can't be Greek!

Our crest is not on our National website due to our Internet Guidelines; it shouldn't be on chapter or regional websites either. The only website is the NPHC HQ site; I surmise that they received special permission. In fact, BET appears to be violating our internet guidelines....then again, maybe that is why they used an incorrect one so that they are not 'technically' in violation...*sigh*.

No. BET has pulled this BS before. So don't be shocked... The AKA's crest and sheild are NOT be used on non member related documents or websites either.
If it were me, I would expect a hefty payment in our International Non Profits and projects we support...

Though this is an issue that is deeply personal to the Greeks, it reflects a larger problem and that is that the entire Afro-American community is being used here (again). A better question would have been "Are you considering going to graduate school?" In fact, with the educational challenges we face, they should have simply asked “Are you considering going to college?” along with a prepared list of Do's and Don'ts that advise high school aged kids on how to get into and GRADUATE from a four-year university. This is BET, though, and its grip on what is going on in the black community has long since slipped away. Anything about black America that can be made profitable for them is used; they do it with BGLOs just as they do with HBCUs, not to mention our music, food, faith, and femininity as women. Your organizations can sue, and perhaps our universities too, but unfortunately virtually everything else remains vulnerable to defamation, misrepresentation and commercialization.

huh . . . she can't be greek
* Stay away from groups that refer to themselves as sisterhoods and wear paraphernalia, like fraternity sweethearts. Don't be caught in those organizations, or you can forget about being a part of a sorority.
