Once again, The Mo’Kelly Report was already way out in front of the story.  You can read about it after the fact in the news…or you can read about it in The Mo’Kelly Report.

Just sayin’…

Full story HERE

In fact, the Chicago Sun-Times did a SECOND story, outlining some of the more outrageous expenses.

Spies for The Mo’Kelly Report have been working overtime this week.  It seems that Barbara McKinzie, almost simultaneous to the forensic audit of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority retained ANOTHER legal team, to personally represent her and “protect” her image.

(Whatever is left of it.)

In another Mo’Kelly Report exclusive, McKinzie’s “new” legal team sent a threatening letter to Carol Ray, one of the original 8 plaintiffs, warning her (among other things) of the following:

We trust that you will not partake or initiate any conduct that would tend to damage the
reputation or shed a false light unto Ms. McKinzie. Nonetheless, be advised that the publication
or distribution of any untrue or even misleading statements regarding Ms. McKinzie, whether or
not derived from the aforementioned documents, would necessitate the need to take legal action.

Consider this letter notice that should Ms. McKinzie hear or become aware of any misleading and/or tortious statements that are derived from you, Ms. McKinzie and our firm will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action.”

And no…Mr. Mo’Kelly has never received any such communication…EVER.

Just sayin’.

I guess that means that EVERYTHING Mo’Kelly’s said about Barbara A. McKinzie is neither “misleading” nor “tortious.” In other words, EVERYTHING Mo’Kelly’s posted here is factual and actual.

But Mo’Kelly digresses…

To the best of Mo’Kelly’s knowledge, there has been no further threatening letters since to Ms. Ray. Just know, this legal team is likely being funded with her previous “salary” from the sorority. Hey, McKinzie has alleged all along she was an “employee” of the organization, so know that AKA’s money is still footing the bill.

Check out the letter HERE.

Let Mo’Kelly topline the information for you:

Checks written to Barbara A. McKinzie during her “unpaid” tenure as Supreme Basileus for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority:

2006

18 Checks

$16,293.00

_________

2007

38 Checks

$241,935

_________

2008

30 Checks

$423,565

_________

2009

25 Checks

$590,523

_________

2010

9 Checks

$55,027

_________

TOTAL:

120 checks

$1,327,343

Note: These totals only reflect checks written directly to McKinzie and do not reflect amounts paid out in personal legal fees or other “expenses” inappropriately paid by the sorority. Meaning, McKinzie pocketed 1.3 million with untold other amounts spent at McKinzie’s behest for “personal” reasons.

In addition, this amount only reflects monies deducted from the General Fund and does not include the Boule Fund accounts and others which BAM’s administration continue to withhold from review by Julia Purnell’s agents.

In terms of “recorded expenses”…BAM was “reimbursed” to the tune of approximately $89,000. (Page 9)

Also detailed is the discrepancy between the money “paid” to McKinzie and the amounts filed with the IRS. BIG discrepancies. As you know, the IRS has already been made aware. (Page

But wait…there’s more and it gets worse…much worse.

Presently there are 59 checks in EXCESS of $10,000 which CAN’T BE ACCOUNTED FOR AT ALL! (Page 8).

(Update 10.23.10 – An inside source has confirmed that 80 checks of varying amounts have now “reappeared” and are being examined accordingly.  In other words, more bad news coming.)

It gets worse and worse and worse. Alpha Kappa Alpha was robbed completely blind, and to what extent may never be fully known.

Game…Set and Match.  Mr. Mo’Kelly Wins.

Barbara A. McKinzie…yo’ a$$ is going to jail.

In The Mo’Kelly Report we’ve had extensive discussions on the role and reality of Black Greek Letter Organizations.  From Zeta Phi Beta, to Alpha Kappa Alpha sororities to even Phi Beta Sigma and  Omega Psi Phi fraternities have all served as entry points into the discussion.

In other words, The Mo’Kelly Report hasn’t played any favorites.

Today is Sigma Gama Rho sorority’s turn. Four members of  the San Jose State University chapter of the sorority have been arrested and the national body is being sued for hazing.

(Mind you, this is NOT the same case as the 6 Rutgers members who were arrested earlier this year.  This is ANOTHER case in which members have been jailed and the body sued.  Hence the GANGSTA nickname.  Sigma Gangsta Rho…you’ve earned the moniker.  Refresher HERE.)

However, Howard contends, that the group’s pledge process was far from sisterly. According to her complaint, she and fellow pledges were punched, slapped, kicked, slammed into walls, struck with a wooden spoon and a cane, and had books and coins thrown at them during a series of 16 nighttime initiation sessions. Howard recalled one evening when a sorority sister told her to close her eyes. She was then struck on the buttocks with what she later learned was a kitchen pot. The pledges were also frequently struck with a wooden paddle, Howard said, blows that left her with welts on her buttocks.

Howard reported that pledges were repeatedly warned not to talk with friends and family about the initiation process, since “snitches get stitches.” They were also told that if they failed to participate in certain pledge activities, they would be “jumped out,” a gang term for a beating conducted by all members of the group.

Howard’s complaint names as defendants San Jose State University, Sigma Gamma Rho, and various sorority members, including a quartet of women who, court records show, pleaded no contest earlier this year to misdemeanor hazing charges. The defendants–Princess Odom; Monique Hughes; Joslyn Beard; and Nicole Remble–were each sentenced to 90 days in jail, directed to serve two years of court probation, and barred from involvement with any sorority.

FULL STORY HERE.

And can Mo’Kelly say it again…”TOLD YOU SO!”  Let’s quote Mo’Kelly…

The argument can be made that as we collectively move further and further away from the principles of brotherhood and sisterhood and closer to big business, these are the inevitabilities.  The deficiencies in our brotherhood and sisterhood quotients have borne themselves out from the top down.

On the undergraduate level you hear more and more how it becomes harder for the lay person to distinguish the fraternities from the gangs, for often times the behavior is just that, indistinguishable. Having nothing to do with our “hand signs,” the stepshow altercations between organizations have increasingly become the rule, not the exception.

Maybe the caliber of membership has decreased relative to the sheer numbers of African-Americans in college, which have also dropped.  Maybe the talent pool is just too shallow or maybe…just maybe, our organizations have become too shallow in and of themselves.

So the closet and the skeletons in it will be open for former Supreme Basileus Julia Brogdon Purnell on August 26 and for some days following it.  Forensic accountants will have FULL access to the AKA books and records going back to 2006.

That means check registers, tax records, you name it.  Depending on what’s “missing” and the revealed skeletons given what is “found” will decide how long the investigation will continue beyond the beginning of next week.  To read the court order, follow the link HERE.

Another great victory for attorney Ruth Major and the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Attorney Ruth Major, whose name you might recognize from her work in conjunction with the Alpha Kappa Alpha financial malfeasance is clearly a rising star on the legal scene. Congratulations are in order for Ms. Major.  Also, this is indicative of the changing role of media for attorneys.  Heretofore it was frowned upon to use the media and now it has become an effective tool in advancing arguments, issues and ultimately attorneys.

Well not really…or kinda sorta.  Without divulging some sensitive information, it seems that The Mo’Kelly Report and Mr. Mo’Kelly were somehow “connected” or “part of” or “mentioned” during today’s proceedings regarding scheduling a proper review of the financial records of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.  Mo’Kelly can’t mention any specifics…or would rather not, to be truthful.  This posting is for those out there wondering if Mo’Kelly has been apprised of the latest.

Yes he has been.  When appropriate, more commentary later.

But Mo’Kelly can say…he obviously matters and it was reaffirmed today. (For all 8 of you out there who hadn’t figured it out yet.)

Check out this letter to the sorority for the Boule…you will find no finer example of African-American womanhood than Barbara A. McKinzie.  This now ends the dripping sarcasm.  Have fun in the comment section.
