We resume our episode this week with Kyle and Stasha at the Omega House. They are packing Kyle's belongings when the doorbell rings.
Kyle: Who the heck is that?
Stasha: Hopefully it's not Jeff!
Kyle runs downstairs and flings the door open.
Karissa: Kyle. Hi. Is this a bad time?
Kyle: What do you want, Karissa?
Karissa: I heard you were leaving.
Kyle: I am.
Karissa: Wow. For how long?
Kyle: I’ll be back next semester
Silence
Kyle: Karissa, what do you want? Because honestly I have nothin’ to say to you.
Karissa: Excuse me? Last time I checked, you weren’t the only dealing with this situation.
Kyle: Yeah but I wouldn’t be dealing with it if it weren’t’ for you.
Karissa: How do you know you ain’t get it from someone else?
Kyle: Don’t play games with me, Karissa. You know I wasn’t with anybody else besides you and Stasha. I should have known better than to mess with you anyway.
Karissa: What?
Kyle: You heard me. As soon as I realized you was still sleepin’ with that nasty dude, Malik. I hope he got checked out. You’re just lucky Stasha didn’t have it.
Karissa: How is Stasha?
Kyle: Why?
Karissa: I was just ask….
From the top of the stairs, Stasha’s voice is heard.
Stasha: Honey! Honey, who is it?

Over at Kashawn’s apartment, Taylor is waiting when he arrives.
Kashawn: Hey baby.
Taylor: Hey.
Kashawn: What’s wrong?
Taylor: Nothing.
Kashawn: Um, yeah right. I know you better than that. What’s up?
Taylor: I don’t want to talk about it right now.
Kashawn: Okay, fair enough.
Taylor: How was the party?
Kashawn: Crazy!
Taylor: Crazy, how?
Kashawn: Yo, are you ready for this?
Taylor: For what?
Kashawn: Kyle is HIV positive!
Taylor: What!

Scene 1 Continued...
Karissa: How is Stasha?
Kyle: Why?
Karissa: I was just ask….
From the top of the stairs, Stasha’s voice is heard.
Stasha: Honey! Honey, who is it?
Stasha walks down the stairs and stops when she sees Karissa standing on the other side.
Stasha: What is she doing here?
Karissa: Hey soror…..
Stasha: What? Are you serious? Hey soror? Get away from here!
Karissa: Look, I didn’t mean any harm, I was just coming by to….
Stasha: To do what? To try to push up on my man for the second time?
Karissa: Okay I see I’m not welcome here.
Stasha: No, you’re not!
Karissa: I guess I better leave.
Stasha: Yeah, I guess you better! And please, in the future, leave my husband alone!
Karissa: Did you say husband?

Over in an unidentified location, the pledges of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority are gathered.
Joi: What do you think is going on?
Shanda: I have no idea.
Joi: No one said anything about us having a set tonight.
Leah: Yeah I know. I didn’t think we’d be meeting anymore until….
Faye: Oh! My! Gosh!
Shanda: What?
Faye: Don’t you guys see?
Leah: Huh?
Faye grows more and more excited
Faye: Oh! My! Gosh! This is it! This is it! This is it!
Joi: This is what, Faye?
Faye: The night! They’re going to cross us tonight!
Shanda: What? You think so?
Leah: You know what? She’s right! It has to be!
The girls all start to squeal and hug in excitement, when Sy’Mone shows up.
Sy’Mone (yelling): What is going on in here!
The girls all jump into their line and stand at attention.
Sy’Mone: That’s better. Pledges! You’ve been on a long and difficult journey towards the beautiful sisterhood of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. Tonight, that journey ends. Some of you will make it. Some you may not. The true test is just beginning and believe me….only the strong will survive tonight. Good luck, pledges…let’s go…..
Sy’Mone leads the way as the line follows behind her in fear….

Scene 2 Continued...
Kashawn: Yo, are you ready for this?
Taylor: For what?
Kashawn: Kyle is HIV positive!
Taylor: What!
Kashawn: I know. Crazy, right?
Taylor: What? How? How did you find that out?
Kashawn: Jeff started trippin’ out at the party and announced it over the microphone.
Taylor: Oh my gosh! Are you for real?
Kashawn: Yup. Crazy.
Taylor: Who did? How?
Kashawn: I don’t know….
Taylor: Wow. That is so sad…..what did Kyle do?
Kashawn: Nothin’ really. He looked embarrassed, though.
Taylor: Yeah, I would be too. Dag….
Kashawn: Yeah, girl. You missed a crazy party.
Taylor: I see that.
Kashawn: What happened to you, anyway? I thought you was comin’ through.
Taylor: Yeah, I thought so too…..
Just then, there is a knock on the door.
Taylor: Oh good grief! Who the heck is that? I am so not in the mood for company!
Kashawn: Probably one of the frat brothers. Don’t worry, baby, I’ll get rid of them.
Kashawn gets up to open the door.
Laci: Hey Kashawn.
Kashawn: Laci? What are you doin’ here? I told you before, it’s over between us.
Laci: I’m not here to see you, Kashawn. I’m here to see Taylor….

Scene 3 Continued...
Over in the same location, the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta arrive with the newly initiated sisters.
Laray: Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Phi!
Neophytes: Sooooooooooooooooo sweet!
Joi: Sorors!
Faye: SOR-ORS!
Shanda: Oh my gosh, I’ve waited so long to say that!
Leah: I’m so honored to be a member of this sorority!
Sy’Mone: I am so proud of my neo’s!
Laray: Yeah, you’re just happy you ain’t the neo no more!
Sy’Mone: Got that right!
Krystalyn: Congratulations, SORORS! You have just joined an elite group of women dedicated to the ideals of sisterhood and service. Welcome to the beautiful sisterhood known as Zeta! Phi! Beta!
Neo’s: Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Phi!
Laray: Aww…..they sound so cute!
Sy’Mone starts to lead a chant and everyone joins in:
"Zeta Train is a slowly pushing, gotta keep on moving
Pink and Green you don't mean a thing
Red and White get out of my sight
'Cause you haven't seen a lady until you've seen a Zeta
She'll be wearing the lovely Blue and White...keep on pushin...
It's a hard road, searching for my Beta
It's a hard road to Zeta Land
Don't wanna be no AKA, Delta just won't do
Don't wanna Ee-yip-yip for no SGRho
Just wanna wear that White and Blue...keep on pushin...
"
Everyone: Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Phi!
Sy’Mone: The brothers are on the way to greet the new sorors. They should be here soon!
While they are waiting, the sorors all start to chat with each and Joi walks over up to greet Krystalyn.
Joi: Hey big sis….I mean….soror….I just wanna say….
Krystalyn puts up her hand to stop Joi from talking.
Krystalyn: Let me stop you there, Joi. Just because we’re sorors does not make us sisters. You still slept with my man. And I still don’t like you and I don’t plan to pretend. If I had anything to do with it, you would have never become a part of MY sisterhood, but clearly I was outvoted. But don’t get twisted…..we are not cool. You’re a Zeta and I’ll respect that. We’ll do what we have to do in the name of Zeta, but that’s as far as it goes…..
