: Update - According to Alpha Phi Alpha, none of these men are members.
That's why I'm glad I graduated from Alabama A&M University Fall 07, cause now I can't fit in with these Iggaz. Dudes wearing skinny jeans and mohawks...what's next??? If lil gayne puts on a dress ya'll Iggaz gonna put on a dress??? GTFO Be ya own man. Damn a frat, ain't no [EXPLETIVE] gone hit me with you board and make me do dumb ish. "Ask Preme Igga 50 don't back down"
Come on now MTO, ya'll are starting to get ridiculous. Clearly those guys are not alphas. None of them in those pics even look old enough to be in college. Especially in that 2nd pic. Yes, that is the alpha sign they are throwing up in that first one...but that is also a hand signal that they do in Hawaii. So does that mean all Hawaiians are alphas? NO! In fact, there is a pic of President Obama throwing up that exact same sign. I bet if you do RESEARCH (something that it doesn't seem like ya'll do), you will find out what they're doing is some hood hand signal or something.
this is not a frat this is a gang from brooklyn called pimpset what they doing with they hands is called pinkys and thumbs this gang is big in canarsie and east ny brooklyn notice in the second pic the dude with the "we run brooklyn" shirt on that picture was takin in pink houses pjs and dude with his ass out is named "meat the pimp" they was all in my school
This story, along with this entire website is nothing but coonery at its finest. Regardless of whether these are real Alphas or not, the issue of black gay men is one that needs to be addressed in the black community, not shunned or ridiculed, because regardless if anyone likes it or not, it is a very present reality, as evidenced by the stark number of black women contracting the AIDS disease alone. MTO is just another pathetic site, like BET, that only serves as yet another forum where blacks can tear each other down, instead of building one another up.
...AND OF COURSE THESE SIMPLE MINDED, EASILY SWAYED, CRABS IN A BUCKET NIG GA'S ON MTO WILL SOAK UP EVERY WORD AND THINK THIS IS TRUE...BUT UNTIL I GET THE SCHOOL NAME AND CHAPTER I WONT BUY THIS SH1T...ANYONE CAN THROW UP SIGNS AND BUY PARAPHONENIA...THERE WAS A GROUP OF GIRLS THAT USE TO TAKE BUTT ASS NAKED PICS AND CLAIM DELTA SIGMA THETA WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE AND COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS GIRL THAT THE SORORITY DENIED ADMISSION TO...SO THAT GOES TO SHOW YOU...WHAT YOU THINK YOU SEE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT REALLY IS.
UUMMMM, YALL BETTA GET OFF OF MY PHRATS!!!!...THE MEN OF ALPHA PHI APLHA ARE NOT GAY!!! THOSE WHO ARE, THAT'S THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS...BUT PLZ DO NOT LABEL ALL OF THEM AS BEING GAY!!!!
THAT ISN'T EVEN AN ALPHA,AN ALPHA KNOWS BETTER. YOU PPL WILL BELIEVE ANY GARBAGE. THAT IS A GANG WHO SIGNS ARE SIMILAR TO AN ALPHA, (PINKY AND THUMBS) UGH!
A POSTER BY THE NAME OF "YUNGBRYLN" STATED:
this is not a frat this is a gang from brooklyn called pimpset what they doing with they hands is called pinkys and thumbs this gang is big in canarsie and east ny brooklyn notice in the second pic the dude with the "we run brooklyn" shirt on that picture was takin in pink houses pjs and dude with his ass out is named "meat the pimp" they was all in my school
So that should answer EVERYONE'S question.
For those who don't know the true deep meaning behind fraternities and sororities it's about idol worshiping so I wouldn't be surprise by this. Do your research I know some of ya'll think it's harmless and many of you simply don't care. But look at what direction all of this non sense is going in! They are making evil things more and more acceptable these days!
@ Girlzpleeease It's sad because a lot of people are so far from God today it's a shame! We mixing the world with God and religion and many many people are confused and mislead! You have people preaching the word of God when they have never read the bible a day in their lives or believe in God! As Christians it is our duty to educate everybody and pray for our lost brother and sister instead of point fingers and playing judge feel me!
Gosh havent any of you been to college or a black club???? Alll gay guys or should I say most, pretent to be in some sort of sorority or fraternity. Most have their own Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority that they fake!! But **NEWSFLASH** most Alphas Phi Alphas are gay hahahaha!!
Ohhh snap my code just came up 6666!! Am I the devil??!! Imma play that in Cash 3 and Play 4
These are some ghetto az hoodrats from da PJ's in NYC. Youngbklyn said it & he telling the truth. Im from NYC and there are a LOT of homo thugs here and they are ghetto az PHUCK and sweet az sugah. No self respecting Blk Man, gay or str8, Would disrespect himself like that. act like you got some motherwit aka good sense, and put some jergens on dat ashy azz
MTO those guys in the pic are not ALPHAS...WTF are y'all talking about...what happened MTO you have some disgruntled reject working on your staff ? somebody working on yor staff who is constantly on their grind put down Black greek letter organizations ? Well that staffer needs to be fired because those images appear to be of minors...and that's a felony...MTO you all have inappropriate images of minors on your site and you all may be reported to the FBI...although you can't see the faces it's still a federal crime...
Mediatakeout.com owes the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha an apology. These are obviously not Alphas as stated by the poster "YUNGBRYLN." Because of MTO ignorance, now you have all these people making ungrounded comments about the Alphas. The blind leads the blind and they all fall in the ditch. This statement is as relevant now than it has ever been. As a Greek, I feel MTO has displayed ignorance and a steep lack of professionalism in posting this topic suggesting that they are Alphas. I am deeply offended for my fellow BGLO. This is unacceptable.
Why on earth would anyone believe that these are Alpha's based on a hand sign? Duh Just because they are throwing up this handsign that does not mean that they are part of any black greek letter organization. At least one of them would have on some paraphenelia if it were.
@prettyfaceAKA: not sure that this is a felony..because these are not true dipictions of minors. One could easily look at this and see adults. The law is very clear ..if adults are posing as minors/kids that is not illegal.
LIES!!! Okay how does a picture of a bunch of thugs outside a housing project equate to Alpha? There is not one piece of paraph in that picture, not one shield, not one "A Phi A". Gangs use similar signs to those used by greeks.
This is why I hardly come to this site anymore. MTO is all about spreading the "DL" stereotype and now is trying to loop the most prestegious collegiate organization for black men into their bullshyt agenda. MTO we get that you want to smear black men and make it seem like even the best of us are messed up or suspect, but keep my frat the fcuk out your mess.
See this is why I do not read MTO. My lb told me to check out this foolishness because he became upset. These pictures do not mean that these are Alpha men. There are lots of gangs and cliques who emulate handsigns od some of our BGLOs. None of them have on paraphanalia so who is to say that they are Alphas? MTO, you need to apologize to my frat for being uncooth and displaying this filth. 06 to my bruhs! Phi Skee to the sorors!
Looks like an Omega photo if u ask me. But I'm not denying there are gay Alpha's but its not "The Gay" Frat. Nor do I believe those are real Alpha's, because we all know there are some things YOU DON'T DO. "The Gay's" are more discreet because of backlash anyway. These acts are disrespectful of the organization's members who know the real symbolism. I don't deny the dudes are gay, but you can't stop anybody from doing stuff on their own. Plus these dudes aren't at a party doing this ol silly mess.
Hell, since you nicca's want to call yourselves "GREEKS" understand their history. History shows that it's NO SECRET THAT THE GREEKS WERE FAGS/LESBOS! "Black Greek" hahahahahaha! Confused azz nicca's. And them some have the nerve to brand themselves!????! Nicca, that's what they did to the slaves!!!!!!!
They look like these dumb ass youngn's who waddle down the blocks of hood U.S.A. like motherfckin' penguins...(GAY GAY GAY)I'm still wondering who Co-signed that it was cool to walk around offering your ass to the public through displays of your boxers...These young niccas need to get a clue for reala yo.. True Talk.Brooklyn Lives-B.I.G.
I have to say, I am an Iota and this looks like something we did or the Omega's for jokes not for anything like this. Go to YouTube and look up some other stuff we did which is the total extreme of our perception of those Frats, nothing more. You know it's like we're new and they dog us so this is how we get them back, it's not that serious. But I know a lot of people in both black and white Fraternities and Sororities that are gay (it's a part of life) I know that they wouldn't have done anything like this, honestly. AND THOSE IGNORANT ASSES LOOK LIKE THEY ARE IN A GANG MTO WTF!!!!
Nothing new. All of the frats & sororities are stereotyped and have reputations (Not true for all, but here they go...): Alphas = Many homosexuals/gays/"down low (dl)" brothers. The AKAs = conceited hoes/sluts. The Omegas (Ques) = the highly sought after "dogz". The Deltas =Intelligent, classy, sexy & devastating divas (the complete package). Kappas = Supposed to be pretty, but "oh, so ugly" boyz. S-G Rhos = Lesbians/Bi-Sexual. Sigmas = Ugly. Zetas = Ugly.
MTO, I USUALLY DONT GET MAD AT WHAT U POST, EVEN THE WORST OF THEM BUT THIS TAKES THE CAKE, THOSE ARE NOT ALPHAS, THERE ARE MANY HOOD GANGS THROWIN UP SIGNS THAT ARE LIKE THOSE OF MANY OF THE FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES...DONT SH*T ON THE NAME OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA WITH THIS JUNK, IM VERY UPSET WITH THIS COMPARISON...YOU TRULY PLAYED URSELVES FOR THIS ONE MTO SERIOUSLY........SINCERLY A USED TO BE LOYAL MTO FAN
Those r not ALPHA men. You see no 'nalia or colors. Can't tell u how many times I've seen white boys or thugs throw the Omega, Kappa or Sigma sign. How dare MTO indulge in such a blatant and brutal attack at the oldest Black intercollegiate fraternity? U belittle the accomplishments of great Alpha men such as Dr. King, Thurgood Marshall, Quincy Jones, Gene Upshaw and Adam Clayton Powell. I am amazed that a "reputable" entity such as MTO would engage in such garrish and outlandish claims. U will be hearing from our General President. Hope u r "lawyered up." 06!
None of these gay azz nicca are apart of my fraternity!!!! just because they are hold up their hand that doesn't make them a member. mto you all betta watch yourself, i feel a slander law suit coming on!!!! and what about the guy with the gold shirt on and the purple do rap does that make him an omega, hell nall!!!! mto ya'll full of [EXPLETIVE] for this one fuk that shi+
Anyone w/ a brain can see that those are not Alpha men. Nothing about either of those pics says Alpha Phi Alpha except that they're mimicking the hand sign. All the ignorant ppl commenting that all Alpha men are gay and all fraternities are gay just sound stupid. Homosexuals are all around us so, why wouldnt they be in all organizations. Who cares? I know homosexuals in EVERY fraternity and sororities...and even more NOT in these organizations.
SMH at this ignorance. Willie Lynch did us in. MTO is doing the dirty work 4 Rush and Fox to bring us down as a people. To those who say that all Alphas are gay,if being educated, employed, able to properly conjugate verbs, dressing professionally, respecting black women and striving to serve and uplift the Black community makes a fraternity gay, then Alpha stands guilty as charged.Thx to all the REAL Greeks and viewers who called MTO out on this B.S. 2 the haters spreading this foolishness,leave ur girl around the Phrat House and we will show her how "gay" the Bruhs really are.'06!

Seriously, every Greek and potential Greek absolutely should know the Pagan history behind these organizations. This is not to big-up Christianity or any other religion because they're all fallacies anyways but it's great knowledge.
@willkill625 Go sit your homo-thugging azz down! Nobody is checking for you! MTO found these pics in the bottom of the barrel somewhere, the same place they find ghetto hoodrats pics. lol

One of those guys is my brother. They were just playing. They are in a group, not a gang. The Q dogs take pics with they butt out. And I have not met a homosexual one yet. To the girl that said that an alpha would know better should shut up. I know some Alphas on my campus that have done some despicable acts that brought shame to the entire Greek organizations. And my brother is not a hoodlum. He attends college the same as i do. All the Greek organizations are groups and are sometimes referred to as gangs by outsiders. So Yall greeks can get off your high horses.
YOUR [EXPLETIVE] DUM WE NOT NO [EXPLETIVE] ALPHAS WE A [EXPLETIVE] TEENAGE GROUP THAT GET MAD BITCHZ AND MAYE [EXPLETIVE] YOUR WIFES LOL [EXPLETIVE] SAYWE HOMOS [EXPLETIVE] WE NOT NO HOMOS WE NOT EVEN A DUM ASS ALPHA WE TEENAGE BUGGIN OUT DUM STUFF UR [EXPLETIVE] DO WHEN UR WAS YOUNG LIKE I SAID WE GOONS UR [EXPLETIVE] STILL COMMENTIN ON THIS DUM [EXPLETIVE] LIKE I SAID MY TEAM IS DA PIMPZ WE FROM ENY NY IF UR GOT ANY PROBLEM COME HOLLA AT US WE READY TO GET IT ROCKIN AND MTO UR [EXPLETIVE] BETTER BE GETTIN READY TO GO TO COURT HOPE URMONEY GAME UP CAUS WE COMIN FOR THAT LAW SUIT.... DA PIMPZ BROWN FLAG GANG
OK, I've had enough of the stupid a$$ comments. These dudes are NOT alphas. This pic has been on the net for a few years now. But anybody that has went to college in on east and north know that the Alphas have the "image" of gentlemen. Which they are, but most of them are GAY. They just know how to cover it up by staying active on campus and making good grades and saying that their "too busy" for a girlfriend, when all the while their gettin it in with every DL dude on campus. They are gay. No disrespect to the organization, but Alpha Phi Alpha is used as a cover for gay dudes.
@mto- how dare you suggest some ignorant sh1t like that about the same fraternity distiguished men such as Dr. Martin Luther King were apart of? Get ready for that historical lawsuit!! And as the wife of an OMEGA man sosolove89 - this had nothing to do with them so please don't lump any man of an Historical Greek Organization -whether Alphas or Omegas- in the catergory with your brother or the homeboys he kicks it with. It's never about colors, signs, or letters hon, it's honor and distinction. Learn something because ignorance is truly bliss!
Alpha's are gay. I have a friend who is a male escort that go to all of the Alpha conventions to make that cash. If you go on any gay sex site like a 4 a or b g c and you see and profile that has ice, cold, cool, 06, phrozen, ape, gold or anything similar 90% sure its an Alpha. They are gay. DC STAND UP!!!!
This is a mockery. Real Alpha men hold themselves to a higher plateau. This is nothing less than slander. There is an apology in order right along with this article being removed promptly. These children are clearly not on the collegian level yet to even be associated with any G.L.O. What is actually funny is the ignorance that is clearly in abundance under these pictures. It just shows that even with a college degree (or in the cases of some who commented on the article college credits) does not always mean that you will start using your brain or that you are even smart if you did.
06-
Ok for all you moronic idiots out there let me break it down for you.
#1 Homosexuals are present in EVERY organization, club or group in this country. Frats, NAACP, Urban League. Without a doubt there are likely a couple of homo's that work for MTO now. would surprise me if the person who published this was gay.
#2 Alpha Phi Alpha, nor any other frat, supports homosexuality nor prohibits it. Sexual, as well as religious, preference has nothing to do with the fraternity. Its a SERVICE BASED ORGANIZATION. For those to clueless to understand what that means. The purpose of the fraternity is COMMUNITY SERVICE. Not to party or chase girls. Not to step or have picnics/greek fests/etc. We have hundreds of thousands of thousands of members. Undoubtly with such large membership there will be homosexuals.
#3 There is NO PROOF that these are actual Alphas. Any group of people can put that sign up. Its not like its a learned skill. How stupid can you all really be? There are no letters present. Just hands sign. But then what should I expect. MTO believes anything for a story. Matter fact I will bring this article to the attention of my national headquarters because this is slander. Hope you have good lawyers.
It is clear that you have nothing better going for you other then to spread rumors.
This is too funny to me. Clearly, these are not members of my fraternity because ALPHA men do not dress like that. Nor will you ever find an Alpha man with his behind out. WE are educated, talented, and professional black men. Yes, there are some gay people in our fraternity, just like there are gay people everywhere, and in every BGLO. For those hating, please don't call a fraternity gay just because you were not smart enough to go to college, or outstanding enough to get picked by a divine 9 organization.
Why are these Alpha's getting upset when they know the pic is not of REAL alpha's? Maybe its because you f@gz KNOW that your frat is filled with homosexuals who "HOLD THEMSELVES TO A HIGHER STANDARD" thats always throwing Dr. King name in every sentence as if being an Alpha made him who he is and if he only belongs to your frat and not to all Blacks. If your frat is so much, why dont you homos get together and build his memorial without outside funding? why? because you are too busy chasing boys and sucking d...k at the glory hole.
Bitter? It's really not a good look. The percentage of gay people in ALPHA is no larger than in Kappa, Omega, Sigma, etc. The bigger issue is that you feel the need to berate a group of African-Americans whose main goal is to give back to the community. We have programs like "Go to High School, Go to College," which clearly you would have benefited from because you're on here sounding and looking like an idiot. That also isn't a good look. You're dismissed.
Thank you col2008. Its clear that he has some animosity towards Alphas for something that happened to him. Maybe one stole your girl or a girl you were interest in. Maybe you were dropped or refused membership. Maybe you are just bitter then members of Alpha in ur immediate area are receiving the respect and admiration that you could only dream of. What ever the reason it clear that you are harboring resentment towards us. Well get over it and go on with your life.
@timetable83... And don't waste our time talking about how you don't give a **** about us or how you don't are what we do. Because if you truly didn't you would have never posted in the first place. None of you with the negative comments would have. Basic psychology. I could recommend a good psych book if you'd like to read it...LMBO
Funny observation...yall, MTO and your envious frat haters, look at this picture and immediately scream "gay alpha" but when some of your favorite rappers and entertainers walk around with their pants buckled below their behinds you all give that the hood stamp of approval. How GAY does that make all of you? You idolize a fashion trend that calls for you to stand around with your boys...with your @$$es hanging out. But yall aren't gay?
