Alpha, Beta, Kappa, Sigma, AKA, Zeta, Delta the list goes on with the affiliations of fraternities and sororities known nationwide and throughout every college campus. These organizations represent the integrity and pride of whatever their founders set out for them. Unfortunately, throughout the 100 some-odd years that have passed by, the reputations from these organizations have been more negative than positive with scandalous activities that have been heavily publicized. Its unfortunate for the men and women who spend countless days, hours, months, and years strutting the streets in their proud colors and are really about the message their organization presents.

With that being said.

In blank stare news:

Have any of you ever thought in a million years that there is such thing as a HAIR SORORITY?????

Like really, what could possibly be the requirements these woman to look for, for a potential Phi Nappa Kappa. Yes, those are the "Greek" letters that represent this sorority, no joke.

I can't see secluding myself from another woman just because she decided to use her First Amendment right to perm or process her hair in a way that I chose not to.

Needless to say, this "organization" does exist and they have a good amount of followers on Facebook and have a Natural Hairshow in Houston coming up in December. Nope, I will not give you the dates, sorry.

Up until a few weeks ago if you went to their page for this event, there was a section called, "Reasons to Go" and one of their many reasons was, "you want the benefits of being part of a big group who has pledged to adhere to a higher level of integrity."

I'm sorry, but I don't feel that being a natural means you can put your nose up to others and think you're better than the next woman.

I just don't believe that.

Its not like if I have a job interview and the human resource woman is a natural, that she would pick me over a more qualified woman because she isn't a natural. It's foolishness. Unless you can get some percentage off of hair products for joining this group then what's the point.

I just think that whoever organized this got lost with his or hers intentions.

If the opportunity arose for you to join such a group, would you?
