Historic Sorority Group Seeing Pink....

This story was talked about on the Steve Harvey Morning Show last week and until now, I never paid any attention to it. But on the show, both Harvey and his nephew/Co-host, Tommy had a huge problem with a group of gay black men representing a counter to the historic greek sorority group "AkA."

At first hearing about this, I agreed with Harvey and other Greek Fraternity and Sorority members in asking why this group could not make up it's own name and colors. I also agreed that the group was making a mockery of this historic all female sorority. But! according to BETNEWS, this group has been around for almost forty years! And I remembered that Harvey did receive an e-mail from a member of MIAkA, saying he had been a member since ninty something. If you go by the outrage of the Greek frat and Soros, you would be lead to believe that this group just started. This changes my perspective of the whole thing.

The group should be allowed to continue to operate under it's present charter. Sorry frats and soros, but you allowed this to happen in at least two historically black colleges and for the many members and graduates from those schools to pass those halls and not say anything.

Hmmph, continue the silence.
