Reveals the historical and political significance of “The Divine Nine”—the Black Greek Letter Organizations In 1905, Henry Arthur Callis began his studies at Cornell University. Despite their academic pedigrees, Callis and his fellow African American students were ostracized by the majority-white student body, and so in 1906, Callis and some of his peers started the first, intercollegiate Black Greek Letter Organization (BGLO), Alpha Phi Alpha. Since their founding, BGLOs have not only served to solidify bonds among many African American college students, they have also imbued them with a sense of purpose and a commitment to racial uplift—the endeavor to help Black Americans reach socio-economic equality. A Pledge with Purpose explores the arc of these unique, important, and relevant social institutions. Gregory S. Parks and Matthew W. Hughey uncover how BGLOs were shaped by, and labored to transform, the changing social, political, and cultural landscape of Black America from the era of the Harlem Renaissance to the civil rights movement. Alpha Phi Alpha boasts such members as Thurgood Marshall, civil rights lawyer and US Supreme Court Justice, and Dr. Charles Wesley, noted historian and college president. Delta Sigma Theta members include Bethune-Cookman College founder Mary McLeod Bethune and women’s rights activist Dorothy Height. Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, who left an indelible mark on the civil rights movement, was a member of Phi Beta Sigma, while Dr. Mae Jemison, a celebrated engineer and astronaut, belonged to Alpha Kappa Alpha. Through such individuals, Parks and Hughey demonstrate the ways that BGLO members have long been at the forefront of innovation, activism, and scholarship. In its examination of the history of these important organizations, A Pledge with Purpose serves as a critical reflection of both the collective African American racial struggle and the various strategies of Black Americans in their great—and unfinished—march toward freedom and equality.

Alexandra Robbins wanted to find out if the stereotypes about sorority girls were actually true, so she spent a year with a group of girls in a typical sorority. The sordid behavior of sorority girls exceeded her worst expectations -- drugs, psychological abuse, extreme promiscuity, racism, violence, and rampant eating disorders are just a few of the problems. But even more surprising was the fact that these abuses were inflicted and endured by intelligent, successful, and attractive women. Why is the desire to belong to a sorority so powerful that women are willing to engage in this type of behavior -- especially when the women involved are supposed to be considered 'sisters'? What definition of sisterhood do many women embrace? Pledged combines a sharp-eyed narrative with extensive reporting and the fly-on-the-wall voyeurism of reality shows to provide the answer.

"Sitting at His Feet" is a book written with women in mind. Women who have been struggling with their God-given calling. Women who have been criticized about moving forward and accomplishing the ministry mission that God has ordained them to do. Women who can't seem to grasp that they are unique with a purpose for their life. This book is a reminder to all women that the Lord loves you. Every woman from all walks of life. What you need to remember as a woman is that God will use you and equip you if you have a desire to be used by Him. God pours out his Spirit upon all flesh, including women. The woman who has the proper tools will be equipped for life. "Sit at His Feet" and become equipped for your journey. "Now" is the time to step out of your path of complacency and step into your path of beginning the task that God has set before you. "Now" is the time! If you try to wait for what you consider the right time your "Now" time may never come. "Now" is the time for you to remember who you are in Christ Jesus. Any time is a "Now" time with God. "Sitting at His Feet" will remind you that you are a woman of God. And God has a divine purpose and plan for your life. You are special to him and a wonderful treasure to behold. Make a commitment to sit at the feet of the Lord and let him teach you and treat you like you need to be treated. You are number 1 with the Lord because you are the apple of his eye. He will hide you in the shadow of his wings. Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings (Psalms 17:8)
