Prince Williams/WireImage WELP… Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Sued By “Sorority Sisters” Cast Member OO-OOPS! It looks like a former member of a Black Greek letter organization is BIG mad at a sorority. Priyanka Banks who appeared on the very short-lived “Sorority Sisters” series has filed a lawsuit against Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Banks was one of nine women on the show and one of several members of DST expelled for participating in the program. Now according to Banks, the sorority’s brash move to expel her was unwarranted and she needs to be compensated for their actions. TheJasmineBrand reports that Banks filed a complaint against the sorority in the Eastern District of New York claiming that she learned of her expulsion through a “random Facebook posting” in January 2015 but never received a formal letter notifying her of her dismissal. Banks claims that she was abruptly duck-walked from Delta’s good graces because of VH1’s reputation for “ratchet television,” which she defines as a genre where black women are “seen bickering, using profanity, behaving violently and verbally tearing one another down.” Prince Williams/WireImage She’s asking for (undisclosed) punitive damages, alleging defamation, breach of contract and negligence. Do YOU think DST deserves to be sued for their “Sorority Sisters” expulsions???
