MoKelly sent me an interesting article that sums up attention whoring at its best—or worst.
First of all, fraternities are for men and sororities are for women. If a person does not view themselves as male or female, that person needs to start his or her own fraternal organization. I truly do have a problem with trouble makers who will do just anything to get attention.
I’ve been hard on the Zetas in the past due to their allowing Sheryl Underwood to become their leader. It’s a disgrace in my view. But I have to side with the Zetas on a new issue—a lesbian trying to force them to call her a “he”, and other nonsense. I do blame the Zetas for voting this individual into their private organization, though.
From the time that Devin Alston-Smith became involved in George Washington University’s Zeta Phi Beta sorority, he made it clear that he was not your typical sorority sister. In spring 2008, Alston-Smith began what Zetas refer to as the “intake process.” He knew his sisters would have a lot to take in: He asked them to call him Devin instead of his legal name, Chanise. He told them he preferred male pronouns—”he” and “his” instead of “she” and “her.” At sorority events, he wore a button-down shirt and tie and a fedora over his long dreadlocked hair.
Let us pause there. “He?” If “he” has a monthly period, a vagina, and a pair of breasts, “he” is a she. Hello?
Furthermore, why did not this individual attempt to join a fraternity if SHE believes she is a HE? I refuse to call anything that’s using a tampon a he. Simple as that. If you plan to be called a “he” by me, you had better produce a set of testicles and a penis (that you were born with!)
Alston-Smith had never intended to become anybody’s sister. “I was anti-sorority for a long time,” says Alston-Smith. “Then I joined Zeta.”
The bible says that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Whatever is going on in the mind and heart and soul of this woman who has a monthly period and trying to convince folks that she is a he, is waaaaaaaay too deep for the Zetas to have to deal with.
- Check this out:
When Alston-Smith stopped attending sorority events, he withdrew from other parts of his life as well. He began to skip classes. Instead, he would hole up, crying, in his dorm room. As the fall semester neared its end, he decided he couldn’t come back—he would take a leave of absence and spend the spring semester at home, in Connecticut. Before Alston-Smith left, he gathered all his Zeta paraphernalia and destroyed it. He ripped apart his letter jacket and scratched out the Zeta Phi Beta emblem on the sorority plaque. He smashed his paddle and tore up the keepsake boxes gifted to him by former sisters. He gathered the blue-and-white mess and placed it in a trash bag. On top, he wrote a note: “You took the liberty of ruining things for me. Now I am returning them to you. All my best, Devin.” He left the bag on White’s doorstep.
Jardine called the gesture a “vicious act of violence.” Zeta Phi Beta has filed a complaint against Alston-Smith with the university.
“It wasn’t a violent or a vicious act. It was a final cry of submission,” says Alston-Smith. “At that point, I had given up.”
Crying? Are there any MEN out there who would be willing to give that gal a lesson on manhood? Men are simply not that emotional over things!

O-kaaaaaay, so Chanise has some serious issues. Lynn, you summed it all up regarding gender. Chanise needs to take her alligator tears to the nearest pyschiatrist’s office to start therapy as soon as possible. Maybe she was on her menstrual cycle and that is why she was crying and so upset. Ladies you all know how we can get sometimes… On second thought, the Zetas should just give her some chocolate and she will be good to go.
Stop the Insanity! And Lynn, your commentary had me ROFL. I needed that laugh today, I truly did. Poor confused Devin… or whoever he/she wants to be.
Just shaking my head. Lawd mercy.
Let me see if I’ve got this right.
She wants to be called HE, but joined a sorority instead of a fraternity.
He(actually SHE)ends up crying over the sorority instead of MANNING UP and joining the football team or something.
“He smashed his paddle and tore up the keepsake boxes gifted to him by former sisters.”
YEAH, RIGHT. Thats not how MEN ACT. If anything we may take it to the parking lot, and throw a few punches.
Fish swim, birds fly, Women give birth, and MEN PEE STANDING UP.
Thats how God made us.
Excellent lesson, Cop! She SHOULD send you a check for the help you just gave her. But I guess she is somewhere crying her eyes out. That’s one sensitive gal!
In response to Cop, AMEN!
Thank you for breaking that all the way down like that Cop. I wondered if it was just me, but have never been a man or tried to be one so I wasn’t too sure if that is how men act. LOL
Lynn, I am simply burned out with gay folk trying to force their sexuality on everyone.
Chanise, if you were born with a penis, you would be a male. But since you were born with a vagina, you are a female. If you CHOOSE a lifestyle that CONTRADICTS your anatomy that is YOUR CHOICE. Deal with the consequences! If you are so confident that you were born that way then STOP trying to integrate yourself into the lives of people who BELIEVE to the contrary!
MAN UP AND STOP WHINING GIRL! What an oxymoron!
