A NUMBER of ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. have requested that I POST the following information in the hopes that it is disseminated throughout the sorority. In addition, multiple sorors have requested that this information be forwarded to Tom Joyner, which has also been done. I can’t speak for how or even if Tom will address this on any level. In any event, he is at the least been made aware.

Furthermore, although I’ve made a formal request to the “sitting leadership” of the sorority for clarity on these issues, no response of any kind has been given. So until they wish to present their version of the truth, The Mo’Kelly Report will continue to offer the side of those who wish to speak on their own behalf.

To that end…
