I read through the thread and not once did I see a sister stand up and say hey thats ok thanks for apologizing now may I give you a bit of advice... instead I saw slam after slam and more than once the comment "well you're not getting in now..." or they're going to "blacklist" you. These are NOT the values I have been taught to uphold. Maybe we should take a step back and reflect. Maybe we should give this young one positive feedback and nurture her to make the best choices for her, give her the positive influence to make a wise greek choice that her mother is obviously not giving her. I have always encouraged young girls that I met that have said "I love what you stand for I want to be a KD too or I want to be in your sorority" that they need to be open when going through the recruitment process and if they look for whats right for them then they will be happiest... I think this is what this girl needed, not our criticism. Sorry to come down on all who posted, I'm just disappointed to see sisters acting this way.

Though this was posted in the KD forum, it doesn't take a genius to know that the majority of the people responding to the OP are NOT Kappa Deltas.

For crying out loud, this thread is from FEBRUARY.

I think Adelphia would be a pretty name.

This thread is eight months old. The majority of the posters were not KDs.

How can you, through one side of your mouth, say how that the OP deserved to have been treated better, but then through the other side of your mouth criticize KD sisters?

This is something I don't understand. I am disappointed to see someone calling out sisters, but without having any background on the thread or understanding of the issues.

I never understand these types of post where people are treating their own sisters poorly but then say that a total stranger should have been treated better. This isn't exclusive to KD, I've seen this happen in many other threads.

I suppose it'd be easier to take a symbol or jewel for some groups. Rose, Pearl, or Ruby? I don't think any Kappa names would fly though- key, iris, fleur de lis, sapphire, owl... nope, those wouldn't work out so well. OR we could just not use GLOs for name inspiration. That's always an option too.

ETA: This is a total hijack, but my brother has a baby girl named Elise. He picked her name and they joke that they named her after a car (Lotus). Technically that's not true but it kind of is...

total hijack of an old thread... but I did see a composite of a Kappa chapter that had a girl named Kappa as a member.

Hey lovely KD ladies...let's strive for that which is honorable, beautiful and highest, k? True, not all of the posts by KDs fit that description, but I also think people were, to a certain extent, reacting to someone who appeared to not be taking our sorority seriously. I'd get defensive about that, too :o. Regardless of who was wrong or right, or even what was said, it's all WAYYY in the past. Besides, there's a good chance "Kadeebug" went through recruitment recently...who knows what might have happened!

(...Is anyone else kind of hoping the resurrection of this thread prompts Kadeebug to return and share her recruitment experience?? I've always wondered what happened to her :p)

Complete lane swerve, but I'd love to know what happened to her. The girl honestly didn't seem to be at fault that her mom was a psycho about trying to get her daughter into the sorority of her dreams, starting with naming her AFTER the sorority.
