MVSU Merger Part 2

In my last blog post i told my readers about how Delta State University was suppose to be merged with Mississippi Valley State University and called Delta Valley University. Well the good news is that this merger will not happen, but hold on there is still some bad news. The bad news is that Mississippi Valley State University, Alcorn State University, and Jackson State University will now be merged into one black college. You want to know whats even more crazy about that? All three black schools will have the Jackson State University name for example instead of MVSU you will have Jackson State University in Itta Bena.

Now let me tell you why this is such a bad idea from my opinion
1: all band members, cheerleaders, and athletes will have to move to JSU's main campus in order to participate in extra curricular activities
2: all fraternities and sororities will have to get rid of their chapter names and fall under JSU's greeks meaning there will be no more Zeta Phi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha or Beta Theta Chapter of Omega Psi phi
3: Students will have to figure out which campus to be around based on their major which is disappointing and frustrating

MVSU Merging with DSU??

Incase you didnt know, there has been recent talk about merging Mississippi Valley State University (an HBCU) with Delta State University( an predominately white university). It is said that both school seem to be losing a lot of recruitment and money which is the soul purpose people want to see them merged together. This has also been a topic in many other states. A lot of black educators are upset behind this because it makes it seem like black colleges are not that important anymore. If this was to take place the schools would be known as "Delta Valley University".

Chillen in Alabama

This weekend my frat bruhs and I decided to take a trip down to Birmingham,Alabama. When we first got there we met up with a few bruhs from a different chapter then went out to a Delta Sigma Theta party that wasn't that good. On that saturday we decided to tailgate all day/night at the Magic City Classics. We had a good time met a lot of new Iotas and Iota Sweethearts and even got entertained by the old drunk people across from the stadium. Later on after the tailgating was over we decided to hit up an Alpha Phi Alpha/Omega Psi Phi costume party that was real good. It was in a 8 story building that was real beautiful and dont get me started on all the fine females that attended it.

Young Teen Gang Raped After School Function

After a high school homecoming dance in Richmond,California, a 15 year old female was said to be raped by atleast 10 boys while a crowd of 20 people decided to stand around and watch. It was said that after the dance this particular female decided to go off on her own and meet up with a few people to drink alcohol. After she became intoxicated the boys around her began to beat her, rape her for 2 hours, and then steal her money. While this went on a crowd began to form and record this stupidity while others just laughed like they saw this on a daily basis. The crazy thing about this is that nobody decided to help her or call the police. This makes me want to ask what type of people live in California. I know for a fact that if anything like this happened in Mississippi nearly all of the attackers would be visiting the local hospital because we dont allow stuff like that to happen. While having a little discussion with my classmates we wanted to know some unanswered questions. Where was the supervision/police officers for this event? Where was the guardian of this child? What was she doing drinking with a bunch of strangers in the first place? and What kind of reputation did she have that made the attackers single her out as the victim? So far there have been 5 people arrested for this attack.

MVSU Student Talent Review

Thats right people, this past week was Mississippi Valley State Universities Homecoming so you know there was a lot of events to cover. Fortunately I had a chance to check out the Student Talent Review. People started rushing in soon as the doors open to find a seat next to there friends and family. The host of the night was comedian/actor C' Dog. He had the crowd hype from beginning to end with the jokes he made. I feel sorry for those people in the crowd that got clowned on. Moving to the main part of the show, there was eleven acts lined up for the night. Each talent ranged from rap music to r&b music. The acts are as follows:
1: T.K
2: Charles Stanton
3: Cordero Ross
4: Paul Mason/ Wayne Winford
5: Blake Young
6: Seven
7: LP/ Trinity
8: Stew
9: Timothy Wilkes/ Neffie
10: N/A
11: N/A
Some of these acts did a very good job, but I cant say the same for others. I even had a few members in the crowd tell me to take some people off of my review, but I will not say anything else about that.

The winners of the Student Talent review and prizes are:
1: Tim/Neffie - $500
2: LP/Trinity - $300
3: Paul Mason- $200

After the talent review was over the host decided to call all of the Fraternities to the front and show off a few strolls. The participants where Alpha Phi Alpha, Phi Beta Sigma, Omega Psi Phi, and Kappa Alpha Psi. Unfortunately my fraternity Iota Phi Theta didnt get a chance to stroll since I was the only member in attendance. The closing act of the night was a comedian by the name of Corey. Some people may know him from his appearances on Nick Cannons Wildin Out show from MTV. From the crowds reaction he did an ok, but most people wasn't feeling his jokes.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries Party

Yesterday my fraternity, Iota Phi Theta, decided to hook up with the lovely ladies of Delta Sigma Theta and host a party at the University of Southern Mississippi and host a party called Choclate Covered Strawberries. We had a huge crowd. Lots of beautiful females, free drinks, free food, and a very good dj. I was glad to see some of my frat bruhs from Jackson State University and Southern Miss.

Sorority accused of hazing

In Colorado at Colorado State University, a black sorority known as Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. was accused of hazing a group of girls during their process to join this organization. From what i have read one of the females trying to join this sorority said that her and the other girls were forced to do things they didnt want. These things included eating cat food, exercising for long periods of time, and doing the president's essay papers. After several weeks these girls decided to report the sorority to the school police and president. In the end nobody pressed charges but the sorority was put on suspension.

Legless man tased by police officers

In Merced, California police officers tried to arrest a man by the name of Gregory Williams for domestic violence. During this altercation the police claimed that Mr. Williams was resisting arrest so they decided to tased him multiple times. The crazy thing about this is that Gregory Williams has no legs and has to stay in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. This makes me wonder how in the hell could he resist arrest? When Williams was asked about this incident he said that the officers humiliated him by leaving him outside with his pants down, tased him for no reason, and left him with a injured shoulder.This all took place in front of his 2 year old daughter. The Merced Police Deparment decided not to comment on the situation.
