Criminal Girls with 20 Pearls – Evelyn Sample-Oates' Letter to Sorority
October 4th, 2009
Take it for what it’s worth. It’s the diet version of Barbara A. McKinzie’s numerous emails to the sorority. Yes, she admonishes her sorors for reading or contributing to “other” websites. Heaven forbid she allows these grown, college-educated women to see INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE and DOCUMENTATION of EMBEZZLEMENT. Maybe if Evelyn (and others would actually do the right thing, there would be no NEED for the discussion to go beyond the borders of the sorority.
Virtually none in AKA would even KNOW of the misappropriation if it weren’t for WI8 and The Mo’Kelly Report.
In effect, she’s saying…
“This problem of millions of dollars being stolen, although the only reasons that you know about it is because of the WI8 and The Mo’Kelly Report …don’t ever read them again. And although we want our “glorious sisterhood” to live on and thrive…don’t ever read either of them ever again…even if I’m not doing my part to insure justice for the sorority.”
In effect, that’s what she’s saying. Heaven forbid anyone know the truth.
How appropriate that Sample-Oates is standing next to her co-conspirator er, uh, friend, Barbara A. McKinzie. You can be sure she has a vested (pun intended) interest in all of this. But note, in this recent editorial she wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sample-Oates had the dirty nerve to make the distinction between LEADERSHIP and DICTATORSHIP in throwing her public support behind Arlene Ackerman – CEO of the Philadelphia School District. I’m sure Arlene is PLEASED AS PUNCH to have her name ALSO mentioned in The Mo’Kelly Report…for some ish having nothing to do with her.
But check out Sample-Oates’ argument delineating the difference between LEADERSHIP and DICTATORSHIP…and then have NOTHING to say publicly about the dictatorship of Barbara A. McKinzie.
Incredible. Just incredible.

Leadership and dictatorship? Is she serious?!

Dear Sorors,
I’m putting out a Call To Action to the Birth region of this sorority and all who will join us around the sisterhood. Stand up and take action against those trying to tear us down and decide to refrain from putting our business in the street and on the internet for all to comment on without full knowledge of the truth.
(ESO…any time you wish to stand and take action against Mo’Kelly…Mo’Kelly is ready. Be sure to bring a lunch.)
Act with dignity.
We have always been women of action and initiative. With each passing day, our Sisterhood sustains another attack on its image, integrity, and leadership. Every soror who loves and serves Alpha Kappa Alpha and wants to see it sustained, needs to stand up and take action. Alpha Kappa Alpha is not open to the public, nor is she subject to her constant scrutiny and disparaging activities. We were all selected to become members of this private sisterhood.
(The “sisterhood” may be private, but the legal cases (plural) against her are not. The issues discussed here are purely of a legal nature, relating to alleged financial malfeasance of Supreme Basileus Barbara McKinzie.)
Therefore, our business should not be open to the public. We need to stop putting information on these public websites and rally together to protect the sisterhood. Let us remember that we are sisters by choice.
(And people are CRIMINALS by choice too.)
Right now we are making a mockery of our own organization and belittling the legacy of Alpha Kappa Alpha and it’s time to STOP and take action.
(Misappropriation of millions of dollars does FAR MORE to damage an organization’s legacy than The Mo’Kelly Report. Even I will admit you give Mo’Kelly WAY too much credit and control than are deserved.)
Act with a sense of purpose.
Our Founders deserve better and we deserve better! We only perpetuate the wanton disrespect and disgust by putting our private business out in plain sight and reading the constant assaults. If we stop going to these various websites and reading the information they contain, we will eventually shut them down because they will have no audience.
(Not The Mo’Kelly Report. The Mo’Kelly Report had an audience prior to AKA’s troubles and will have one after all is said and done; having nothing to do with the sorority. Get that thought out of your mind right now.)
This is not an attempt to stifle transparency, but a plea to my sisters to stand up for decency, due process and the perpetuity of our organization.
(Yes, and drug dealers on the corner are “pharmaceutical reps.” It is what it is.)
Their information is not only partly inaccurate, but unofficial.
(But still no “official” word or “accurate” accounting of the millions of dollars in doubt. Please show where Mo’Kelly has been inaccurate. Don’t TELL folks Mo’Kelly is inaccurate…PROVE it.)
We didn’t join this organization to follow them. We joined to follow service. So let’s stop condemning our sorors and dragging our beloved sisterhood through the dirt. Let’s get down to the work of Service To All Mankind.
(Prosecuting criminals and removing officers who are misappropriating funds is not “condemning sorors” or dragging the sisterhood through the mud. Do not lump the whole of the sorority with the actions of a few.)
Act with fidelity.
(Then start with the AKA in the mirror.)
As sisters who serve our community and help each other in every task, let us never forget our pledge nor indestructible bond. Remain loyal to each other and believe the best before you defer to the default. Take steps to restore trust instead of fuel dissension. Your sisterhood, my sisterhood, our sisterhood depends on it for growth and progressive development.
Act with sisterly solutions.
(Agreed, so tell Barbara McKinzie to stop suspending members simply because they oppose her.)
We will deal with our issues in-house and make sure that what is right prevails.
(Too late, there are multiple lawsuits in place. It is no longer an in-house issue. That’s why court records are public documents and available for both review and commentary.)
That is the true Alpha Kappa Alpha way. We are college-educated women who are skilled communicators and consummate problem solvers. We can and will talk about what has transpired, as well as how we will prepare our beloved Sisterhood for her 102nd, 125th, 150th and 200th birthdays. We determine what happens now.
(Not true, a court does, hence the MULTIPLE lawsuits facing the organization. You’ve relinquished the right for self-determination. The courts will now mediate.)
All of that begins now and we must take proactive steps that honor our established processes and exemplify the classy legacy that our Founders established long ago. We must not give up on Her or the ideals of sisterhood. Sorors I love you and I know you love Alpha Kappa Alpha so let’s not let her down, keep her dignity and reputation in tact.
(Exactly, so stop writing letters like this one.)
Sisterly,
Soror Evelyn Sample-Oates
Centennial North Atlantic Regional Director

Saturday and Sunday nights from 8pm - 9pm PDT on XM 244.
The strategy of Sample Oates and McKenzie is to equate AKA and BAM. As long as members believe that they are closed to anything that has been DOCUMENTED. The WI8 have provided (without commentary) documents that can be read. The defendants have not provided any type of documentation to support their claims of innocence. Even the attorneys for the defendants have verified the authenticity of the checks written to BAM. In addition Sample Oates wants this handled in house. The jury will see all of this. It is no longer a matter that will be hidden in house. UNbelievable!!!
Yes…but Dear Soror Evelyn. WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY???
Arlene is from here in St. Louis AND is an AKA, IIRC.
They will all get along, eventually?
Evelyn, give it up and stop the "Bull". You are good at saying absolutely nothing. While your statement is full of passion for your beloved AKA, it is also full of unbelievable arrogance that insults the intelligence of the very sisters you claim to love. If you and Barbara did not have a need to control everything and everybody in AKA, there would be no need for the WI website. MoKelly would have nothing to talk about because members would be allowed to express themselves in a environment that would only be accessible to members. Since you and BAM have appointed yourselves as the official sorority censors, you get exactly what you set yourselves up for. Those members who take your advice and refuse to avail themselves of the truth, deserve to be set up for the biggest and most disappointing fall of their lives. What are you going to do when you are exposed to be the thief and liar that you are? What will your exit strategy be when the courts make you expose your illegal activities? No amount of flowery language and general rah, rah will get you the forgiveness that you will surely need when you and the rest of your cronies are "outed". You and everybody else with a brain knows that you have no intention of handling this "in house". You had numerous opportunities to do so and you chose not to. The accusations against you, BAM and the rest of the Directorate are not LIES and you know it. You certainly have every opportunity to prove that they are. Why not start working on that project today.
"partly inaccurate, but unofficial" WHAT IN THE SAM HILL DOES THAT MEAN!!!!! She just needs to keep her dang mouth shut completely!!! This just makes it MORE SHAMEFUL!!!!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, next thing you know…they'll be calling on the Lord, and asking the Sisters to be sisterly and that everyone makes mistakes, and it's your Christian duty to forgive the sinner…I swear the talking points are exactly those of Barbara Moore and Sheryl Underwood (Chair of the Board during BCMs' stealing) hope AKA sorors are smarter
On the WI8 site it has been suggested that ESO be inundated with faxes,emails,letters. The post also has some excellent points to address. I know I'm going to send her a letter. That letter she write made me so mad I almost got a headache!! According to her the only "real AKAs " are those who act like robots or bobbleheads. She is some piece of work!! Reading web sites and responding with comments will not get you arrested. Nor do you have to be concerned about immorality. To paraphrase Sarah Palin who does ESO pal aroynd with?
ESO is an "airhead" that acts like she is smarter than everybody else. To write a letter like the one referenced above and think it has a chance of being believed makes her a little on the crazy side. Anyone who really believes its content needs to "get thee to a therapist".
Exactly Von 08!! Someone needs to send BAM/ESO a memo that you can't form a "Sorors Only" section regarding the District of Columbia's public record section… or ask the judge to pick 12 Sorors to serve on the jury… or initiate the judge before the trial starts… the same way that the Directorate can no longer keep this in-house, the websites had no power in bringing this matter out-of-house… it is in the COURTS!! Love, "Centennial" Soror (i'm starting to get the hang of this "Centennial" title trend…lol)
ESO! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???? You really make your self look bad. One minute you are throwing BAM under the BUS. The next you are trying to strongarm the NAR. I have dealt with you before and I KNOW YOUR GAME. You do not care about sorors and you do not care to handle issues in house. Anwser this one for me: Since you have became RD, how many sorors have sent you letters, emails, or call you about some form of injustice within their chapters, and you have simply ignored. Now, that the table have turned you expect our support. PLEEEEAAAASSSEEE!!!
Dr. Ackerman is not involved, but she is an AKA.
Interesting sidebar:
Dr. Ackerman was married to one of the few remaining white boys from my graduating class -- Soldan 1963. Interesting that she still uses that name.
She's got an unique background as most school superintendents do, these days.
