It's a hot topic circulating online among members of historically black fraternities and sororities: What to make of gay men who have created their own "chapters" of sororities?

Several men - who are reported to be gay (and there's nothing wrong with that) - have been photographed dressed in the colors of my sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.

I was stunned to see the photos - but then concluded that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And the rituals and traditions that make me a soror, these men know nothing about. They're simply mimicking the style and grace and attitude that my sorors often do. No harm, no foul.

However, not everyone is so... tolerant.
