My Twitter timeline
and Facebook feeds were off the charts about this show. Therefore, I watched every cringing moment of
this foolishness because I didn’t want to criticize it before actually seeing
the show.
First, let
me state that as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, I am appalled and
ashamed of the show. The show was a minstrel
show and has folly all around it.
In no way
should educated and dignified women of these organizations act this way. The misrepresentation of Alpha Kappa Alpha,
Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho has me floored. I am
having a hard time trying to wrap my head around the idea that my sorority
sisters & other sorority sisters selling out their organizations for a week
of fame.
I am very
upset, because this show did not show my sorority as an organization that was
founded on principles, the involvement in community service and that
we support the betterment of women…but rather portrayed us as unreal, egotistical,
uneducated, materialistic and irresponsible. This is inexcusable.
There was
one thing that pierced my heart, the obvious twist that other organizations DO
NOT get along with each other. That is
the farthest from the truth. I have great
friends that represent all of the other sororities in the Panhellenic. By no way shape or form do
we put each other down like these chatty women. We respect and support each other.
I like others that have
graced my timeline or news feed, would appreciate it if my cherished
organization would not be a part of this tomfoolery. So, I did my part to try and
remedy this situation by signing the partition to end this show (here)!
What are
your thoughts on this mess?
