212 linesI am a proud member of Kappa Alpha Side Fraternity Incorporated.
I am a nuke to the day I die.
And I love it, but guess what?
It's some more sororities and fraternities out there.
It's some alphas that love it to the day they die.
It's some Q's that love it to the day they die.
It's some AKAs, some deltas that love it to the day they die.
But guess what?
Tommy called a sick and told him.
And he was.
Not a member.
A Five Beta Sigma.
Trust me.
He loves it.
To the day.
The title of this is
no sick.
Hello?
Hello, I'm trying to reach a uh Greg Roochley.
Yeah, this he.
Uh, how you doing?
My name is Bernard, uh, Five Beta Sigma.
I'm over Pledge Relations.
Uh-huh.
Uh, giving you a call today, man, um, you attended Prayer View AM University, am I correct?
Um in the in the early nineties, is that right?
Mm-hmm.
Hello?
Yeah, I'm here.
Yeah, you you am I right?
You attended Predator.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay.
And from my understanding, you pledged Five Beta Sigma in fall of ninety one.
That's correct.
All right.
That's the Delta Theta chapter, correct?
Yes.
All right.
Here's where we're we're having some problems here going through the records.
Going through the records.
Actually, look looking looking at the records that we have here at headquarters, you're not actually uh an official member of Five Beta Sigma.
Uh I I don't know what is taking place, but it's Wait, wait, wait a minute.
What?
What do you mean I'm not a member?
Looking at our records here at national headquarters, it's it's indicating that you're not an official member of Five Beta Sigma.
I don't know what could have gone wrong uh with this thing.
No, no, that ain't right, man.
That ain't right.
Because see, Delta Theta is recognized nationally, so why wouldn't I be nationally recognized?
I'm not certain, sir.
Maybe it's something that took place on that that actual line of fall ninety one.
We're actually gonna have to do some research on everything that's going on with your line as well as the chapter.
But how is that possible if they gave if they gave me a certificate and the and the plaque and I got my my pen and I mean I'm a Sigma.
What do you mean?
Okay, sir, I don't know.
I what I'm looking at here, and I am and and please understand, I I want to try to clear this matter up.
Yeah, yeah, we need to clear this matter up.
Who who else is there somebody there like a uh uh uh overseer or uh maybe uh uh the head president of your branch or something that I could talk to or something?
Well, I'm actually I am actually over pledge relations.
Uh-huh.
And I wanted to give you a call personally so we can try to rectify the matter and and it's gonna take us some time to iron this thing out.
But what I need you to do as of this point.
Yeah.
And you know what?
The problem is that I'm noticing is that all of the people that were on your line, they are official.
For some reason, Mr.
Greg isn't official.
So I wanna I don't understand that because I was the line president.
So how how uh is everybody else um able to be a Sigma and not me when I did all the paperwork that it takes to to for the process to be right.
I don't understand that shit.
Sir, uh, you know what, brother uh I can't call you brother for the fact that you right now you're not a brother.
