Howard University’s Alpha Kappa Alpha chapter was recently accused of witness tampering in the ongoing lawsuit case of Laurin Compton and Lauren Cofield.

(On Feb. 28 in federal court, the two seniors at the University and sisters alleged that their human rights were violated by sorority members when Compton and Cofield could not wear sorority colors of pink and green, among other innocuous and some serious hazing rules.)

Judge Rosemary Collyer slammed the tampering as “deplorable” and “supercilious” and decided not to sanction the sorority for the tampering.

The plaintiff’s outspoken attorney, Morgan State University graduate J. Wyndal Gordon took to his Facebook page and said:

AKA SORORITY, INC. “GUILTY” OF WITNESS TAMPERING: “The Court finds that the actions of AKA were deplorable and inadvisable, as at least AKA’s counsel now concedes, and had the impact of impeding testimony.” Compton, et al., v. AKA Sorority, Inc., et al. And we’re just getting started. –The Warrior Lawyer!!
