Is It A Crime?: Cheating



There are two kinds of cheating in my book. There is the Crime of Passion cheating in which two people where in the same place at the same time and the lust and the alcohol took over and you just couldnt stop yourself and there is the pre-meditated cheating in which you went out of your way to disrepect your significant other. I mean you sent text messages (sexting), e-mails, smoke signals trying to set up the infidelity. Now both, of course are totally unacceptable and if you're single you can just choose to move on and shoot the deuces. BUT!!!!! What if you're married, I am not sure I could just throw in the towel without thinking some things through first. Now The Crime of Passion Cheating I can understand more because it is a sin of the flesh which means we need to go to church more and receive some good word to help him yield from temptation....but boy OH boy, that Pre-meditated cheating is worth leaving for, because you had ample of enough time to nip it in the bud but DID NOT!

Then what's the use of getting back with someone who cheats knowing it will never be the same. The dynamic of the relationship will change and often times not for the better! Rarely people grow closer due to infidelity.

So what would you do? Would take him or her back? share your story~

Everybody Hurts....



As we look for the perfect mate we often talk about how he needs to look, how tall he needs to be and what type of job or education we would like for him. vIn looking at these superficial characteristics of a "good man" we often do not pay attention to the actual make up of what makes him "good". Every woman may have different tolerance level but in the end, we should all agree that the man should not harm a woman.

Last night I received news that my little cousin, who's really not so little anymore was shot in the head by her boyfriend. I am left wondering did she have signs of what type of person he was, and did she ignore them? When they got into their first argument did he ever call her out of her name? How did he treat his mom? How did treat other women? These are important questions because that one question could have been the one thing that saved her life.

Then I think that what could I done as a family member to help choose more carefully. What can I do as a citizen of the world to prevent more domestic deaths. Can I teach girls early on their worth and their value is much more important than having a man who will not value you your life.

We must do better. I must do better and helping. It starts today!

So ask you what are some of the actions or things we can do to help the next generation to choose wisely and value their life? or What are some of the warning signs to run from a relationship?

Stuff that NEOS do!




I saw an event coming up in Dallas called the Dallas Alumni Greekshow, and I remember how it felt when I just crossed AKA back in Spring 99, from The BreathTaking Beta Tau Chapter at LeMoyne Owen College. I remember as soon as I crossed I was deemed "STEPMASTER", and boy where we a forced to be reckoned with under my leadership (<------me tooting my on horn). Then I realized it's 2011, and I am officially considered an "OLD Head", but real talk I still got it. If I wanted to I know I can still out step the best of these young whippersnappers (<--proof that I am old).

I digress, talks amongnst yourselves, here I will give you a topic, The Dallas Alumni Greekshow will be an event to see for the true old heads, which Sorority or Fraternity will take it all? DISCUSS!


So back to the originally topic, After thinking about my glory days, I started to think about things NEOs did that its hard for us old heads to come to grips with, like:

Stuff Neos Do:

1. Wear too much paraphenalia
2. Constantly refers "my line sisters" or "The Bros"
3. Turn every song the DJ plays into a strut off
4. Don't have friends outside of the Organization
5. Take Fraternity and Sorority differences a little too serious on the yard!
6. Lives by the stereotype of the Organization.
7. Recite "Invictus" too damn much, to prove you PLEDGE (when anyone can learn that really)
8.Quick to wanna pledge someone else.
9. Think your shit don't stank!
10. Think the "Old Heads" should speak to you since you're new (that will be the other way around).


That's a short list.....but what else would you like to add "OLD HEADS"......at any rate the Old Heads will be getting together March 17th in Dallas, Texas for the Dallas Alumni Greekshow, 7p,-10pm
