JUDGE’S OPINION – CLICK HERE!
________
Redressability
Plaintiffs’ maintain that the Directorate has usurped the decision-making role from the Boulé (legislative body) and centralized control within the Directorate. Plaintiffs (and Defendants) go to great lengths to explain the long history of the sororityand the evolution of its governing structure.
Notwithstanding the impracticality of the Court resolving the internal power struggle of a large, private, voluntary organization, “courts ordinarily will not interfere with the management and internal affairs of a voluntary association.” Jolevare v. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., 521 F.Supp. 2d 1, 20 (2007) (internal citations omitted), it is incumbent upon a party seeking this type of relief to demonstrate the existence of facts to justify this type of judicial interference.
Id. In Levant v. Whitley, our Court of Appeals assumed, without deciding, “that interventionwould be appropriate when an organization failed to follow its own rules.” 755 A.2d 1036, 1044 (D.C. 2000). The Levant Court ultimately adjudicated whether a private, voluntary, membership organization had followed its constitution and by laws when it removed Plaintiff/former member. Levant, however, may be distinguished because thePlaintiff in that case brought suit, in part, as a derivative action.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!
Now we must handle r business, vote these B******
out of office 2 ensure that no HEIFER will ever RAPE R BELOVED SORORITY AGAIN!!
REMEMBER, just b/c case was dismissed DOES NOT MEAN THEY R INNOCENT, B/C THEY'RE NOT!!
Every member of DIR running 4 office, SHUT THE B****** DOWN-VOTE NO @ THE BOULE!!!!SKEEWEEEE!!
Hi Mo,
Babs & Cooter told me to ask you if you want salt & pepper with that egg?
p.s. I guess this means you're going to come after me now hunh?
Egg on my face? Not hardly. A case being dismissed while a motion is pending is MORE than slightly odd and reeks of dirty politics. No egg on my face. And why would I come after you…you're insignificant.
Not only that, this does not exonerate Barbara McKinzie and does not change the fact that she (admittedly) received more than $1,000,000.00 for an unpaid position.
That's not including her "pension."
For you to somehow gloat in the wake of your own dues being spent to fund this means either you're getting a cut of it or a fool or both. That's your dues money, not mine.
Egg on my face? Not even close. Remember that the next time you pull out your checkbook.
Going further, there are still unresolved IRS issues. Oh yeah, you forgot about that didn't you…
It's up to us to make this situation right. Now is not the time to have business as usual. I'll be at regional and Boule.
Mo you made this your cause celebre'. You wanted to exhibit a supreme ascension of your imagined power to bring down the house of Salmon Pink & Apple Green!!! You didn't really care about the facts of the case, only about your "investigative" skills and MO Kelley the beast MO Kelley the man persona. I suggest you go clean your face because egg is even tougher to remove when it gets cold & old.
p.s. i think the gentleman thing to do would be to write a letter of apology and post it on your site. SKEEEEEEE WEEEEEEEE
will anyone ask to be your 21st? I think not after this.
Shreds,
I have more documentation than you could ever imagine. Many documents that were not published due to them being privileged and confidential. There is no doubt that the woman "stole" more than a million dollars from your organization. How foolish do you sound to revel in that fact. It's not even up for debate. Those are the facts. I never posted her personal bankruptcy records and the connection to the times of the checks. I didn't post any of the other "innuendo." I posted documentation. Everything you know about this situation is thanks to me and the Friends of the Weeping Ivy.
You're welcome.
In addition, to summarize the opinion, the judge stepped aside and chose not to further the litigation…which is different from siding with Barbara McKinzie. She said that the courts should not intervene in the affairs of a "voluntary" organization.
That is anything but an exoneration.
This is far from over!!! Sorors, and anyone else who is interested in seeing justice served, let's bombard the IRS with complaints and requests to investigate. These women have acted criminally, and even if there is no relief to be found in the civil courts, laws have been broken and we need to stay on top of the IRS and the Illinois Attorney General to investigate. See ya in St Louis!!!
Is there anything else you can do, Mo, to get out more information?
Simple…send everything I have to the IRS.
Mo, can you send your info to the Illinois Attorney General's office as well? Do you think that will help?
btw last time i checked the IRS had no pending investigations against ALPHA KAPPA ALPLHA!!!! despite letters written by WI8 & crazed supporters. I used to support them until I became aware of ALL the facts!!!
The IRS doesn't publicize pending investigations…or didn't you know that? That's why they're called investigations. In addition, the IRS would be most "interested" in 2008 and 2009, when the largest checks were written. Shreds, you are not informed at all.
Mo, don't waste your time with "Shreds", she is BAM or the closest thing to her. I am not the least bit discouraged by the judge's ruling. BAM and her co-conspirators on the Directorate have a big pay day coming and it won't be in the form of legal tender. You and the WI8 have put yourselves on the line to try to right a wrong. If the membership of AKA think that McKinzie deserves to be a millionaire at their expense, then let it be so. I believe that Bernie Madoff thought he was "bullet proof" too. I can wait because I believe that Gangsta BABS is a train wreck that just hasn't come to a stop yet. Keep the faith and stay focused. Her day of reckoning is coming.

If you don't stand up and check your leadership this will be a recurring situation. I can't imagine giving thousands of dollars to an organization and being told that my rights as a member are minimal at best.
Shreds…Are you just about the colors? Do you think that this decision has helped those who are in dire need? Do you think this decision has restored the faith of the public in nonprofits? Check with local chapters about recent donations. Are you happy that the books have not been opened? Tax returns have not been filed..Is this how a "professional" organization operates? You are so busy doing cartwheels in your designer suit and shoes you have missed the point. WHY AREN'T THE BOOKS OPEN? WHERE IS THE MONEY? None of this has been resolved. The WI8 lit the flame. The torch has been passed. It's on!! Since the judge seems to be saying handle it yourself so be it. If you think the upcoming conferences will be BAM pep rallies think again. We do not like it when anyone messes with our money.
Pink Shreads despite the perception of what you feel the WI8 will gain, don't you find it troubling that your monies sent to "help" mankind and projects went to fund a lifestyle particularly during an economic slump? If you find you projects have a hard time getting funding, the economy is to blame, but also because their is a questionable taint over the leaders head, does that not worry you? The ladies will truly have a rough time and it will take coming together to solve their issues.
1. mo – i know more about the IRS than you could ever hope to learn – TRUST there is going to be no investigation of AKA and it's leadership.
2. i was once a supporter of the WI8 UNTIL i saw ALL the info in black and white. i too have a friend at HQ and in the leadership team. it was a real eye opener.
3. people should not be so quick to fall for all JED ploys. she has a lot of skeletons too.
it is time for our beloved sorority to heal, regroup and move forward! 102 years cannot be diminished by anyone!
1.
That's interesting…because unless you are the one filing the returns for AKA in 2008 and 2009…that's a pretty bold statement in lieu of those returns. That's like saying you're sure I won't be audited for tax year 2009, and neither you nor the IRS has seen my return yet.
I guess you're psychic. Because that's one hell of a trick, knowing about un-filed returns.
Not only that. You're trying to convince me and yourself by even writing here. I'm not sure either is working so far. I don't have "a" friend at headquarters, I have about 12 with more documents than you have. There is no legitimate response (including what you've written) to receiving more than 1 million dollars for an unpaid position (while also raising dues and assessing chapters). I'm still waiting.
2.
If you say so. You don't even sign your name to what you say so this is tantamount to nothing.
3.
Her skeletons are neither here nor there. Her "skeletons" do not change the facts of the money and where it went. Neither does your comment.
You're right. That's why Boule is still on the horizon. What would it say if members and chapters withheld their dues in protest? Don't say it won't happen because it already has at a number of chapters in California alone.
Pink Shreads, don't begin to celebrate just yet. The WI8 may have lost a battle but the war is far from over. Don't think for a moment that BAM is ready to celebrate just yet either. Criminal charges are out there waiting for her. Remember, she has not refuted any of the evidence that has been presented on this and the Weeping Ivy website. She did a dance for you phoney baloneys who want to believe she is not a crook but know deep in your hearts that she is. That makes me wonder just what kind of bug are you. When you crawl back under that rock with your girl BAM, ask her to hook you up with some of that good old AKA money. Maybe she already has.
directorate voting to give you stipends – in any amount – is not theft. PERIOD!
the person(s) i know are the ones who ACTUALLY manner.
when everyone else signs with their government name, i'll sign with mine.
either way it is time for our sorority to heal!!! we will deal with our issues discreetly in-house as LADIES should.
sorry mo – you lose. that egg is really hard now. soon it will start to smell
directorate voting to give you stipends – in any amount – is not theft. PERIOD!
When it is done against constitutional bylaws it is. Now you simply sound stupid. For if that were true, any non-profit could give any president any amount of money and since you supposedly know SO much about the IRS, that could destroy the non profit status of most corporations and foundations.
That simply is untrue and I will not allow you to perpetuate that lie. Not in a non-profit.
Nope, I haven't lost…like I said, Boule' is on the horizon…and you know it.
For example…
While charitable organizations are permitted to arrange executive compensation agreements, "unreasonable" compensation to a disqualified person will be considered an excess benefit, subjecting the disqualified person and members of management who approved the transaction to penalties under section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code known as "intermediate sanctions."
The IRS uses the term "disqualified person" to describe "any person [including a corporation] who was, at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of [the] transaction, in a position to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of the organization." For example, voting board members, officers, directors, staff members with ultimate decision-making authority, and highly compensated employees are considered disqualified persons.
Any payment determined unreasonable by the IRS must be corrected. Not only will the payment have to be returned by the disqualified person, the disqualified person will pay a penalty of 25% of the excess benefit (an additional 200% may be imposed if not paid within 90 days), and members knowingly involved in the excess benefit transaction may be subject to a penalty of 10% of the excess benefit. Even if the charitable organization that granted the excess benefit transaction no longer exists, the disqualified person is still required to correct the excess benefit, generally paying the amount to another 501(c)(3) organization in accordance with the original charitable organization's dissolution clause.
(Shreds, you obviously know NOTHING about the IRS)
Other than the general standard that the compensation should be what is ordinarily paid for like services, by like enterprises, under like circumstances, the IRS has yet to establish more detailed instructions for calculating reasonable compensation. Therefore, it is extremely important organizations exercise their best efforts to execute reasonable compensation agreements.
In its report, "Strengthening Transparency Governance Accountability of Charitable Organizations," the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector recommends charitable organizations to approach the required Form 990 or 990 PF filing as an opportunity to undertake a full review of its organizational and governing instruments, key financial transactions, and compensation policies and practices at least once every five years.
Furthermore, the Panel highlights that the executives of charitable organizations have some responsibility in preventing an excess benefit transaction from occurring. The governing board or other authorized body approving the compensation should be accountable for the process used in the overall determination of reasonableness. They should not shift the burden to the IRS of demonstrating the compensation is excessive.
The Panel also strongly encourages charitable organizations to adopt a requirement that the board of directors approve CEO compensation annually prior to the payment of the new compensation level as part of their bylaws or governing documents. For example, if the board elects to exercise a multi-year CEO contract in which compensation is increased periodically or upon meeting specific performance measures, the board should institute a regular process for reviewing whether these terms have been met. Even if the board designates a separate committee for CEO compensation and performance review, the Panel suggests that the committee's report regarding its findings and recommendations should be subject to the full board's approval.

You need to better inform yourself on non-profits and the IRS.
Readers, let this be proof-positive that Shreds is completely uninformed. Once again, I go with facts.
the vote was not against our bylaws – hence no issue from the IRS!!!
the court of law has spoken. all of you sorors criticizing my designer shoes & suits – get a life sweetie. that's the problem with this entire thing. jealousy about who has what, drives what, buys what.
whatever is going on in OUR sorority will be handled WITHIN OUR sorority – so Mo unless you are MIAKA or getting a sex change, this ain't YOUR sorority or your business!
donations are down nationwide to any and all charities – not just AKA.
it's no point in trying to get you people to come to a rational conclusion so before you drive me to insanity i will depart this site never to return – except for gloating purposes only of course.
CASE DISMISSED!!! DEAL WITH IT !!!!
the vote was not against our bylaws – hence no issue from the IRS!!! – Not true. I don't have to be an AKA to know that. Have a good day.
And as long as you're here "arguing" that this is a non-issue for the IRS, it only proves it is.
p.s. i am currently and have been a member of several non-profit boards so i know the IRS rules when it comes to boards.
MO my WALL has an framed MD hanging on it- how bout yours?
hmmmm maybe i should ask MY SOROR to break it down to you in the simplest terms possible. i'll give the Honarable Vicki a call – she should have some extra time now that this foolishness is over. or i could also speak into the vine and have soror chief justice of florida supreme court give you a call and explain what case dismissed means to you & your rabid readers.
you see we ladies of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA are SMART SMART SMART!
THE FIRST AND THE FINEST BABY! READ THAT COURT RULING AND WEEP
p.s. if you can see through the dried egg.
You can't even spell Honorable…please better choose your words when detailing "simplest terms."
I don't reveal my sources, because they're both weighty and real. No need to namedrop. You came to my site for these documents, not yours.
And by the way, the case wasn't dismissed on the merits. If you are a representative of AKA, you wouldn't be gloating now. But please gloat on…this is a marathon, not a sprint. I have another 5 cards to play. But you wouldn't know that. 🙂
How does that qualify you in this conversation? When I need some vicodin, then maybe your opinion will be relevant. And for all we know that framed MD is your husband's…
Shreds,
You don't get to anonymously insult me on my site, hence your last post was deleted. You're done. Have a good one. All future posts from [email protected] at 208.89.204.6 IP address will be deleted. You were free to have your fun, but you stepped over the line. Anyone can lob anonymous insults. But nobody can do them here at my expense. This is my house. This site has always kept it above a certain level. You went below it. You've embarrassed yourself and the organization you supposedly represent. If you are an AKA, you sure seem not to be given the behavior.
The only reason you know of the case dismissal is because I had the fortitude and temerity to report it. Nowhere else will you (or can you) read this information and the associated opinion connected to it. You should remember, you are only as anonymous as I allow you to be, not as anonymous as you think you are when it comes to the internet. I ALLOWED you to remain anonymous, by courtesy. You were never anonymous. Hang this with your MD.
As for this conversation "Lisa McClinton" on this site…you're done.

1)is BAM’s professinalization of us a starting point to turn AKA into a ‘business’ versus a TRUE sisterhood? (2)were monies paid to BAM done so because she TRULY did enhance our worth, world stand and AKA as a BRAND on the whole? (3)do we really want AKA to be a ‘BRAND’ versus a ‘SERVICE’? after all weren’t we founded on principles of SERVICE TO ALL MANKIND. (4)will the delayed 2008 tax filing show even more payments to BAM? (5)did BAM use the “stipends” to grease palms to further AKA’s global branding. (5)what WILL happen to our beloved sorority IF/WHEN the IRS gets involved
JED still needs us to fight for her membership, too!
It is my understanding that section 4958 of the IRS Tax Code only applies to organizations that are tax exempt under Sections 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4). I believe situations like this one should cause the law to be amended to include all tax exempt and partially exempt organizations.
Amazed,
I'm sure there is an applicable statute for AKA's tax status.
Shreds is no lady. She claims to have inside information . What is it? She claims to have been a supporter of the WI8 but now she is "more informed". Shreds was NEVER a supporter. She became overwhelmed with the documents and played like she was on board. Can she explain why there has been no documentation on a point by point basis to refute the charges? The posts she sent to you became progressively more hysterical and illiterate. Making dispariging references to a person's sexuality is SO CLASSLESS!! Throwing around the names of people YOU think are notable with the hope that it makes you notable is SO CLASSLESS!! With your friends in high places, insider knowledge etc. Shreds you keep right on being the BAM supporter you were and continue to be. As for me I'm taking my marching orders from Soror Purnell and looking for integrity.
my deepest apologies to mo kelley, alpha kappa alpha, the persons name & computer i used and anyone else who i may have offended.
i am not an aka. unfortunately i participated in this activity and bashing with someone who will not be held accountable and will be able to keep her job because she is unknown.
mr kelley i will never again insult you or your report. i should not have spoken on things i know nothing about. i am adult and should not have participated in bashing you or aka with someone who is afraid to let herself be know and instead i allowed myself to be used.
i offer my deepest apology to you once again. i am very VERY VERY sorry and I WILL NOT DEFAME YOU OR YOUR CHARACTER AGAIN.
lisa
Apology accepted, information has been removed as promised. Let's move on.
It's the principle. Still fighting for WI8 and what our founders STAND for. I'll meet you in St.Louis!
Soror "Lisa," How's the omelette?
Can I get a what? what?
Pinkys Up – Mo'Kelly doesn't play.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME I AM SO SORRY
I hope there is. Section 4958 was added after a similiar case with the United Way. AKA may be the driving force behind getting this section to apply to all tax exempt orgs. AKA is a 501(c)(7)and is only exempt on income received from members.
@ Mo Kelly don't play…I see. go head wit yo bad self. I don't play either. Meet me in St. Louis
I knew shreds was not a Soror. No Soror would gloat over something so unfortunate. Even Sorors who don't want this played out in public would not be gloating like she did. I am glad you gave her the public smack down and sent her on her way. This is a Serious Matter, and we don't have time for kids and their games!
Not only do we have to get the financial facts out in the open we have eight ladies who took a big chance to keep us informed. Be clear BAM will try to turn their unjust suspension into an expulsion. We must do whatever we can to keep that from happening. The plaintiffs may not want to be involved with the sisterhood which would be a loss. But THEY need to make that call. Not the likes of BAM. We can not let that happen!!
I have a co-worker who used to work at the IRS and I remember her saying taht allegations or compliants called into the IRS hotline would be followed up. Someone should call and report BAM. Hotline calls are supposed to be assigned to someone to followup on within the same week that the call is received.
We'll hit 'em on all fronts. If enough call, write and email…an investigation would be inevitable. We have too many people, too much documentation and too much determination. I was informed of some other foul 'ish BAM and crew were doing to ostracize and punish my AKA family members. It's not cool and guaranteed another 6 months of effort on my part.
Pink & Green Shreds: So, a group of people screws your organization by tricking on themselves and using gestapo tactics, yet you celebrate them getting away with integrity murder? Are you smoking or simply a few sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers and blanket short of a picnic? What is wrong with people these days! Put down the kool-aid…quickly…it's affecting your brain.
@Pink & Green Shreds: So Mr. IRS told YOU personally that AKA is not being investigated. OOOOOOOKKKKKKKK.
"meep, meep"
Hurry up! The short bus awaits you. *smh*
What an amazing thread.
Morris, the size of your ego is almost justified!
(rofl)
You are some sort of whirlwind and you NEVER get caught with your pants down.
Color me mighty impressed.
Morris,
By the way Morris, you wrote: " information has been removed as promised."
The email, ip and actual name are all still present in this comments section. That wasn't what you were referring to?
Walt, No, I was referring to the "other" name that was originally there. It was her BOSS' email!
'Mo I am so disturbed to learn that BAM is trying/planning to punish your soror relatives!!! This is what happens when a tyrant gets back up from the legal system( Hitler) The legal system keeps us civilized. Unfortunately judges make bad decisions that empower wrongdoers. Now that the judge has removed the civilized way to handle this we have to find another way. Despite that dismissal there is something very rotten in our leadership. BAM is a millionaire!! She has paved the way for others to do the same. As is the case with others who have money she believes she is invincible. Hence the threat/action to "punish" anyone in her way. I'm concerned about your relatives, the plaintiffs and all of us who are unwilling to let BAM steamroll her way across our sisterhood snatching money as she goes.
What a world we live in. She's very good at the backstroke.
Morris, I know you're not the vindictive sort, but doesn't that young lady need to lose her job over this?
Walt,
I am not the vindictive sort, you are correct. Also, I don't think anything is gained in this sense by her losing her job. I think the intended (and better) message was sent by restraint on my part. Sometimes having the hammer and not using it means more. And to your point, she is young. A lesson learned for her (and others who may silently lurk, thinking about throwing "anonymous" bombs).
My point was made and leaving up her name and email is reminder enough. I think I diminish myself by taking someone's job away in that manner. It's ok for me to be the bigger person in that regard.
Wow! Shaking my head at the insanity. Mental illness is definitely on the rise. Mo keep up the good work. I depend on you to stay informed. I respect your fight. I don't trust that rat fat cat Bam. I look at the registration fee for Boule and can't help but wonder… I swear Alpha Kappa Alpha makes some people go crazy.
Oh shoot. I just got the email from the sorority about the court desicion right as I was clicking 'say it'. LOL
It’s always funny to me how I can tell who’s a Soror & who isn’t when I read these comments.
Thanks Mo’, for teaching this young person a thing or two about not sticking their nose where it does not belong.
To my TRUE Sorors: Don’t give up or lose heart! I’ll see YOU in St. Louis!
Mo thanks for reporting the facts! Please know, you as well as your AKA family members have the support of many AKAs. We will continue to fight until Truth & Justice prevails……..
“The time is always right to do what is right” Dr. Martin Luther King
Let's get one fact straight that has been in our faces from jump . . . Barbara McKinzie is a gangster who will do whatever it takes to get her way especially when it pertains to money. Those supporters who are celebrating her "Victory" need to hold on to their "pantyhose" until that 2008 990 tax return is filed. I guarantee you that when they see the "Salary" Ms. McKinzie paid herself (or maybe the Directorate approved it)they will need smelling salts. When the final number is tallied they are going to find that AKA paid Ms. McKinzie well over 6 million dollars for her professionalizing (sic) our obviously backward organization. Oh, I forgot, the 2006 nor the 2007 990 tax returns revealed any such dire financial situation she alluded to when she took office. That is "off the chain" (for want of a better expression) and you idiots think she has done nothing wrong. I can understand Cooter singing her praises. He is still on the payroll so I wouldn't expect him to say anything less. Rest assured, McKinzie's so called victory is short lived because the best is yet to come.
I do not care how much BAM and Flunkies gloat, WE…ALL AKAs! know the truth, however most are afraid to admit the truth because of PRIDE. However, they may think that VICTORY is theirs…It is not…So, if my SORORS are okay with their money lining the pockets of others. than hey it is their money…GIVE it away. But, for my money…I am not! So, I will remain active, Continue to speak up at every conference, and continue to keep BAM and Bammites on the Forefront of my mind and yours. Trust, I am not afraid of speaking up or afraid of being suspended.
AKaton…Being suspended by BAM is an honor. It means you stood up for accountability and transparency. It means you have honor and integrity. I would take that suspension letter and have it framed!!!
Dissapointedaka…You are so right…But when the tax return is finally filed trust me BAM will be in Dubai laughing her head off
