I know you love your fraternity that you’re pledging because you wouldn’t go through what you’re going through if you didn’t love what you were becoming a part of this is for the brothers and the sisters but brothers and Sisterhood should not be turned into the degenerate thing
That it is being turned into in the name of sorority and fraternity now you just listen take it from a fool all right I’m very serious it is wrong for you to say that the brothers and and Sir what are you pledging Alpha Phi of the great fraternity
But it is wrong to say that the brothers who are pledging Alpha Phi Alpha and when they get over and they and they learn the handshake and a few of the little rituals that only Alpha Phi Alpha is brothers and when you meet a brother
Who is an Omega or brother who is a sigma but they have some who are trying to plant Sigma Kappa uh brother yeah who’s a Kappa oh brother who submits our sister or sister who’s a doctor or a sister who is a AKA it is wrong for you to think that
Because you are of your particular Greek persuasion that that’s not a brother that’s wrong what most of you don’t know is the history behind Greek letter fraternities you don’t know what crossing the Burning Sands is all about it started with the making of the Caucasian race
In your Bible in the Book of Genesis Adam was made let us make man us make man in our image and after our likeness and let us give them power and dominion over the fowl of the air the fish of the sea and over every creeping thing that crawls upon the Earth Adam
Wasn’t a man Adam Was a Race So in the fifth chapter of Genesis it says male and female created he them and called their name Adam all right as white folks and they were put in the garden of paradise which they say is that between the Tigris and
Euphrates river in the Middle Eastern area which is called the Garden of Eden Arabia the Middle East the holy land and they started making trouble among the righteous and the Bible says Adam following the guidance of the serpent disobeyed God and was put out of the garden the white race
Creating hell in the Middle East The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us they were cable told and our holy garment was taken off of them and they were given just a little lamb skin to hide their shame they were taken by way of the Arabian Desert and they were beaten every step of the
Way out of the Holy Land up into the hills and Cave sides of Europe where they became Savage and fell down on their all fours and for 2 000 years white folks lived in the hills and Cave sides of Europe deprived of the light of guidance and civilization because of
Making trouble among the righteous by telling lies causing the righteous to fight and kill one another to so crossing the Burning Sands started from there being driven out of the Holy Land into Europe where they got relief from the Heat and the desert and they built a life for themselves in
The caves of Europe so in every Fraternal Order from that all the way to the Masons there’s a crossing over ceremony getting over the Burning Sands and they beat you behind you understand to symbolize how your fathers beat them and drove them out of the Middle East now here you are pleasure
Dig it now you put and you’re learning the Greek alphabet right Alpha Beta Gamma Delta Epsilon right Zeta ETA Theta and Order Kappa Lambda mu Nu PSI Omicron pie rho Sigma talk so forth and so on I can’t remember it all now now what you got to remember is Alpha is a letter
Omega is 11. Kappa is a letter you put letters together to form what check it out you put words together to form what you put sentences together to form what you put paragraphs together to tell what the story so if you tell me I’m Alpha
And a man come up and say well I’m Omega and another one come up and say well hey did you ever I’m a Kappa and what the hell are you saying we all belong to the same family but we ain’t got sense enough to recognize that I’m a word and
You a word but if we put the words together we can tell the story [Applause] thank you now let’s go cross over and get your PIN and be a good Alpha and be a good Omega but just remember black man and woman you are on the Burning Sands right now
And when Whitey get through with all of us don’t you ever talk about what church you belong to or what denomination are you or what fraternity are you when you get over these Burning Sands anytime you look at a black man you say here come my brother here come my sister reach out
For each other don’t let sorority or fraternity divide us get the best out of it but then reach Beyond it to a greater Brotherhood the Brotherhood of black people all over the Earth all right
