at Howard University. Now, ten years later, they seem to have it all.
Jessica is in the limelight, a TV personality whose star is on the rise.
Ellie is an optimist, happily engaged in the quest for love. Shereen is
a stunning and powerful executive, and Yolanda, the strong-willed leader
of the group, has defied her roots to capture her vision of the American
dream. But years before, these four women banded together to keep a devastating
secret—and now, ten years later, someone will do anything to see
the secret brought to light. None of them anticipated the consequences
of keeping the secret-and now, someone is trying to shatter all their
lives. Intense, powerful, page-turning, and emotional, The Sisters of
Theta Phi Kappa will keep you guessing and will make you think about the

Let the controversy begin! As if the story line wasn't enough, the author's
use of specific fraternity letters on the front cover of this novel has
caused major drama. According to the cover, Pledge Brothers is
"a shocking tell-all book about friends that possess a burning desire
to pledge a glorified fraternity. Willie Thompson bonds and embraces friendship
with four guys (Harry, Noble, Timothy and Nick). Initially, Harry is the
only one to get accepted to pledge the fraternity then he betrays his
friends. The fraternity eventually opens its doors to Willie and the others
due to Harry's whim, which is to make his ex-friends suffer. The Pledges
survive the first night of living HELL, followed by weeks of unexplainable
horror, all while encompassing a humorous aspect at times." The author
is an alum of Texas A&M University. Official stepshow.com review

African American Dance
by Jacqui Malone
This book explores the history and evolution of African-American dance and traces its roots to Africa.

Greek Philosophy Is Stolen Egyptian Philosophy
by George G. M. James
A must-read for anyone insterested in becoming a fraternity or sorority member, Mason or Eastern Star. The book is an attempt to show that the true authors of Greek philosophy were not the Greeks, but the people of North Africa, commonly called the Egyptians; and the praise and honor falsely given to the Greeks for centuries belong to the people of North Africa, and therefore to the African Continent. Consequently, this theft of the African legacy by the Greeks led to the erroneous world opinion that the African Continent has made no contribution to civilization, and that its people are naturally backward. This is the misrepresentation that has become the basis of race prejudice, which has affected all people of color. Nonfiction; paperback
by C. W. Leadbeater and W. W. Leadbeater
Explores the ancient Egyptian influence upon modern Freemasony, including
masonic groups from various countries. Nonfiction; paperback
Fraternities, Sororities, Hazing, and Binge Drinking
by Hank Nuwer
Wrongs of Passage concentrates on hazing/alcohol misuse in Greek groups, always with an eye toward changing behavior and noting actions of fraternal organizations (Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Epsilon, NIC, NPC, NPHC, etc.) to introduce true reforms. It also notes attempts by schools such as Alfred University, Auburn University and the University of Texas to find positive ways to combat hazing after hazing- or alcohol-related pledge deaths have occurred. However, Wrongs of Passage demonstrates that hazing has been a disturbing part of higher education since the Middle Ages, and it points out glaring and disturbing realities about hazing and binge drinking in many collegiate sports teams, spirit clubs and Greek organizations.
