We have all fell deeply in love with the Love & Hip Hop Series but producer Mrs. Mona Scott Young may have bit off a little more than she was prepared to chew with this new show. Sorority sister was her new baby and the trailer was release about a week ago and snatched down from all Internets shortly after! The “Sorority Sisters” trailer highlighted members of Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho and the Greek community is not having it! So much so a petition has been drawn up online to completely stop the show from ever hitting the air. The petition was created by Reynoir Lewis and addressed to Viacom’s president and CEO Phillipe Dauman and President Barack Obama.
Here’s a little snippet of what the petition actually says….
“Stop the spread of ignorance and stereotyping of our beloved Black Greek letter organizations. Our founders amongst EVERY organization worked extremely hard to allow us to unite and flourish not only on college campuses, but as a people well beyond our college days, and Mona Scott-Young now threatens to demolish those aims and goals we all abide by.”
Whew! As a graduate of a Historically Black College, I totally agree with the petition. Everything does not need a reality show, we have left nothing to imagination anymore, we have to see it. Now im not knocking Ms Mona for trying but it just seems as if she is being a little money hungry and desperate for content. Who ever she chose to represent the organizations on the show would have had the responsibility of representing that Organization, so if that person did anything wrong or ratchet that would be associated with that Organization on a much larger scale. Im sure the people involved were not ready for that and im glad they pulled the plug. We have enough Stevie J drama we dont need aka, delta, sigma gamma rho, zeta drama too!
