VH1’s infamous show, Sorority Sisters, finally has some clarity. With the show officially ending, cast members are weighing in on what all the fuss (good and bad) was about. In an exclusive interview with theJasmineBRAND.com, cast member MeToya Monroe reveals how she was casted (in fact, she says that Delta Sigma Theta sent her an email about casting); if she plans to pursue actions against the organization for the expulsion; whether Mona Scott-Young was involved in the show and more.

Check out excerpts of our conversation.

theJasmineBRAND.com: What were you doing in terms of your career before reality tv?

Metoya: Actually, the same thing I’m doing now. I am a critical project manager. I work for a contract agency. I manage clinical trials. I’ve been working in that business now going on 8 years.

theJasmineBRAND.com: How were you actually casted for the show?

Metoya: Interestingly enough I got an email from my chapter. The Deltas actually informed me of the casting of the show. I still have the email from the organization. They sent it out to everyone in the chapter about a new show coming out.

theJasmineBRAND.com: Are you in the graduates chapter?

Metoya: No, I pledged undergraduate Kappa Delta.

theJasmineBRAND.com: Your undergrad chapter sent a mass email out to everyone in your chapter about the casting?

    I find it ironic that Delta actually sent her info about them casting for the show. But when things got controversial, they threw her under the bus.

      Yes that is, but she didn’t actually show the letter. It could have been informing her about the show and letting her know the consequences of participating. I had read about that show some time ago myself. I was like they (the greeks) are going to shut that down. They may have had high ratings, but without the advertisers support, the funding was not there which is likely why the show got cancelled.

        She stated that her chapter sent her the email, not the National body. The only person who can speak for Delta is the National President or someone she appoints. From what I understand their chapter has a mass email list. More than likely the email was sent out with very little thought.

      Metoya hasn’t been a part of that Chapter since somewhere around ’01-03. Once you are no longer in a chapter, you don’t get official chapter mail. Maybe an undergraduate Soror sent an email on her own to a list of former alums, but she definitely didn’t receive anything official. You can’t remain a member of your undergraduate Chapter once you are no longer enrolled at the University. Also, we don’t know what the email said, but I can assure you it wasn’t an endorsement by Delta Sigma Theta. At worst, it may have been an email from one of the young undergrads telling that they heard somebody was casting a show about the Sororities. I can see how that could possibly appeal to a naive 19 or 20 y/o.

    She got the email from her chapter not the National HQ which is who is ultimately responsible for any disciplinary action. As a grown up you seek opportunities and bear the brunt of those decisions. When the original casting call went out quite some time ago nothing official had to come out from any of the organizations featured. Those of us that were active and attending meetings knew any participation in said show would more than likely get you punished in some form or fashion. Heck you can’t use our letters for background folks on tv shows without permission–that’s part of what slowed up Stomp the Yard because it never got permission to use any of the organizations who are members of the NPHC. From the outside looking it all of this may look very arbitrary but trust me when I say this shouldn’t have shocked a single person who took part in the show. The fact that it has is what I find slightly amazing.

    I lost a whole lot of respect for the Greeks. I find them fake !!! How can you stand up when it comes to a show that you feel makes your organization look bad, but wont Stand up against other shows like Love and Hip Hop, Housewives etc? What this tells me is that some letters are more important. Please fake fake fake. The truth of the matter is people are going to people no matter what. I went to school with people who acted just like that. Half of the Greeks that was against this show watch Love and Hip Hop etc .

      I totally agree with you. Love and hip a hop featured a ratchet delta. Yet, they love her so much they’ve given her her own show. Sorority sisters was far classier than the aforementioned.

    HERE IS THE REAL REASON…This entire ordeal was about money and jealousy. Wonya Lucas President of TVOne and AKA member wanted Sorority Sisters for the TVOne network. However the plans fell through when VH1 outbid them for the show. That’s when Roland Martin host of NewsOne and ??? member, along with the help of his ??? brothers Lawrence Ross and Reynoir Lewis took to Twitter to trash the show. That’s how the footage was leaked to the internet. TVOne had access to it. So Roland and his brothers proceeded to slander the Ladies and rile up the Greeks. After Roland Martin got the Greeks riled up Lawrence Ross told the Greeks don’t watch we will watch and let you know what advertisers to target. That in itself was a move of deception, because he knew if the Greeks watched the show they would find that the members of ??? Roland Martin, Lawrence Ross, and Reynoir Lewis were lying; And just like the Jim Jones Cult the Greeks obeyed and let these lying member of ??? use them to do their bidding. Then when you ask the Greeks why they didn’t watch it, they repeat the speaking points they heard from the 3 lying ??? members. You know…the same tactics Republicans use against President Obama. HOW CAN A BUNCH OF ADULTS ALLOW SOMEONE TO GIVE THEM THEIR OPINION. THAT HASN’T HAPPEN SINCE THE SLAVE MASTER. SOME OF THESE GREEKS ARE PROGRAMMED WITH THE WILLIE LYNCH LETTER SYNDROME. They ended a show that displayed real disputes, relationships, triumphs, failures, parenting, business, entrepreneurship, community service, and culminated with SISTERHOOD.

    The title of this article is misleading. When did she deny Mona Scott-Young’s involvement during the interview???
