Excellent questions, Soror 2D!!! I'm awaiting some great responses from our fellow sisterfriends.

LOL: Just a hunch!
 

Soror, I think we could be *waiting* and *waiting* and *waiting*...

:p
:D

Well, I guess I will start.

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
I decided that I wanted to be apart of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc way before joining GC. I did not found out about
GC until after doing some research.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
No, I would not.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?
No, one person doesn't make an organization whether it be a greek sorority or a community service group. I looked at the organization as a whole.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
Yes, and I have seen it done. You don't want to disrespect anyone in another sorority, but when they clearly want to diminish your chances in joining the organization of your choice, then you need to separate yourself from that individual.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
Well, it says that person doesn't not respect you and you have to make it very clear that you are not interest. Or they are desperate for members.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
Only that person, unless each member is doing the same thing.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
Maybe the other organization sees something in me that is worth while. If an individual has that charisma and personality about her, most likely she would catch the eye of more than one organization.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
Well, that would mean I have not found why I want to join Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. It would mean I have not found the difference between this sorority and the other three. I

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
I don't know.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
Well, it says that maybe this sorority was not for me. I've changed direction many times in my life (such as first majoring in Computer Science and then changing my major to Psychology and graduating with a Psychology degree and now I am in Nursing School), but don't regret any of it. Some people in this world are just lost and are just finding their way and I don't think that is wrong. Now if someone changes their mind on one sorority to go to another because their second choice has more parties or their second choice gets all the men, then that person needs to seriously reexamine their life.


Before I sign off, I want to clarify something: I want to become a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and I have been pursuing it since my sophomore year of college.
:)
I just have to be patient because grad is a whole different story!

I haven't considered myself a sisterfriend since early 2001...
 

But since I'm bored and no one else wants to start off:

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

* Yes.



2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?


* No. However, I have learned that coming into contact with a single, very powerful individual can really make you think.



3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

* No. Hardheaded people like me don't respond to persuasion.



4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

* I once had a few non-AKA women (graduate) tell me that I'd make a good XYZ. However, I don't share my personal hopes with people so they had no clue about my goals. Even if they were aware, I would be flattered that someone thought that I'm worth trying to coerce.



5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

*At first I thought it showed a character flaw, but then I had an interesting thought. Colleges try and persuade excellent students to attend their schools. Jobs fight for the best college graduates. Some jobs persuade people to leave their, company, hospital, firm, etc., for theirs. It's not really being sneaky or disrespectful. It's all about attracting the best and showing them that YOU TOO are the best. That's how folks stay on top!

If I knew that a girl in my your poli-sci class had the makings of a Senator, Congresswoman, or Mayor, I would naturally feel as though she should be a part of MY organization. I don't believe in harrasment, but I can't say I would let rush come and go without dropping a hint. But that's me!



6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

* That person/group of people. If they weren't punished I would wonder why the governing body didn't take some sort of action against the offender.



7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

* Either they don't think you have no sense and don't respect your choice, or they think you are too good to pass up.



8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

* You're weak if you rush/pledge something you really don't want for yourself. However, if you discover that you and XYZ compliment each other nicely and decided to go for it, you are smart and brave. I've heard people talk badly about a people who used to be a SF for one organization and then switched over. To those people I've asked this question: Do you want a soror who only joined XYZ because she felt too guilty about pursuing what she really wanted?



9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

*If I switched prospective organizations? Hell yes! I couldn't look at myself if I crossed into a sorority I really didn't want or love. You can't uncross The Sands, man!!



10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

*That I've got some!

My Thoughts...
 

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
Although I am not currently actively pursuing membership (I am busy focusing on building myself up and involved in other things), I did decide upon my interest in ABC org. before I found GC...However, I must admit that quite a few things I observe on GC have openeded my eyes more in terms of some of the ongoings of Greeklife (from an outsider's perspective, of course ;))...

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
No. As long as the views of the organization as a whole were in line with my own beliefs, then there would not be a problem. Every person is an individual--it's our differences that make us unique and make the world interesting.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?
Heck, naw!!!! I do what I WANT TO DO, :cool: which is ultimately what the Lord compells me to do...I DO NOT follow others!!! :p :D...This is a personal decision that only YOU can make for yourself (after much research and consideration, of course)...Anybody that does become swayed to become a member of an org they have no interest in obviously wasn't genuinely interested in their first choice org in the first place (or, they were interested for the wrong reasons :rolleyes: )...

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
No, esp. not if they didn't know of my interest in ABC and I know that they have good intentions. I would take it as a compliment but reply that although I am flattered, I am not interested in pursuing membership XYZ.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
Depends on the circumstances of and who is attempting to do the "swaying"...If it is a member of XYZ, it says that they believe I possess characteristics that are desirable to that org, and that they think that I would be an asset to the org (this is assuming they have good intentions and do not know of my interest in ABC)...If they do know of my interest in ABC and continue to attempt to "sway" me to XYZ--then it says that particular member of XYZ (not the entire org) lacks intergrity...If it is a member of the org I am interested in, then again, I would also take it as a compliment...HOWEVER, as I stated earlier a decision of this caliber is one that should be made based on what one truly feels in their heart--NOT on what another person wants them to do, b/c it is YOU that has to live with the choice you have made...THEREFORE, the members of both ABC and XYZ would have to understand that I will have to make this choice for myself...Now, on the OTHERHAND, if any member of any org continuously tries to sway me any way, then that says that the person thinks they can persuade people to do whatever they want them to do & that they don't respect that I am intelligent enough to make my own decisions...Don't get me wrong: I value and appreciate any assistance that is given to me, but ultimately I make my own decisons...AS FOR non-members of greek orgs, they have no say-so in regards to my interest in ABC...B/c as I stated earlier I do what I want to do...

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
No...The fault is with the individual member of the org...NOT the entire org as a whole...Every org has a few rotten apples, but that doesn't spoil the entire bunch (esp. when that "bunch" is thousands of thousands!!!)...

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
That person lacks integrity and thinks that they can get me to do whatever they want me to do and doesn't respect my own intelligence...And that they are in for a rude awakening b/c I ain't going out like that (as Theo from the "Real World" says, "I ain't no punk!")!!!

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
A weak a%$ punk!!! :eek:...A follower...An individual that has no integrity...A person that doesn't have a mind of their own and that lives their life for other people instead of for themself...A person that SERIOUSLY needs to evaluate WHY they are interested in becoming a member of a BGLO in the first place...:rolleyes:

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
Nope...But I'd be tempted, being that I am such a beautiful, gorgeous woman!!! :p :cool:

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
That I lack integrity... :(

Re: Sisterfriends of GC-10 questions for ya!
 

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
Yes. Before I joined GC I already new what organization that I was interested in. GC just allowed me to intereact with members and prospectives in ways that extended beyond gaining knowledge or membership into Alpha Kappa Alpha.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
No. I know that there is no "one" type of Alpha Kappa Alpha woman. Also, the person is just one of over 150,000 women. Additionally, if that person's views or beliefs conflicted with the principles or goals of AKA, I could only ponder WHY she pursued membership in the first place.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?
No. I know with who and where my interest lies.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
No, I would not be offended if someone approached me in a cool, professional manner. I believe there is nothing wrong with a member trying to select prospectives that she thinks would be a great asset (and a great fit in regards to principles, goals, code of conduct) to her organization. I would have a problem if I have stated that I was not interested, but yet she kept approaching me about the subject.
5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
If it was done is a professional manner (i.e. not downgrading or demeaning the organization that I am interested in) I would just think of it as a member trying to "look out" for her organization.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
Actually neither. Just like companies recruit and seek the best people for their organization, I would assume that this member was just doing the same thing. Once again as long as it was all done in a professional manner (Have I said that enough times yet? :p

[B]7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
I would just chalk it up to persistance. However, if I have already told her that I am interested in another organization, I would take it as someone that "just don't get it" and would have to find a tactful way to let her know that seriously, I AM NOT INTERESTED.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
If I sucumbed to the pressure of joining, just because someone else thought their organization was the best fit for me, then I would have to question my motives for wanting to join a sorority in the first place. I am not saying that a person can't change their mind about what org to join, because after all it is during college that many people first encounter greeks and greek life. But what I am saying is that the DECISION should be up to the individual (and what you feel is the best match for you), and not because so and so thinks you should be an XYZ, Inc.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
I would feel like a sell-out. Everytime I saw someone in the org. that I wanted to join I would always think "that might have been me".
10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
I believe that it says that I still have some growing up to do.

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC? Yes, I decided which organization I was interested in long before I knew what greekchat was.
2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization? Certainly not! If I were that easily swayed, I would have already been swayed by now. Since I am not, I am going on three years strong in pursuit.
3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in? No way! I have sincerely taken heed to the advice that joining a BGLO is a LIFETIME committment. That is certainly not something I would agree to nonchalantly. I could not work for another organization knowing that it was not truly what was in my heart.
4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization? No, I would not be offended. Only because, I would like to believe that I am a well rounded individual. I would like to think that I would be considered an excellent candidate for any organization. Although I may be a good candidate, that does not mean that it is what I want or that we actually fit together. However, I would like to think that having the basics ( scholarship, service, etc.) would make others interested in me. I have actually had this done to me before. A member of another sorority was constantly inviting me to events, teas, info sessions, etc. Eventually, I just told her that I was not interested in sororities at all. We still remained cool though.
5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person? Now the idea that someone would purposely try to sway you would say to me that they are desperate for membership. It also says to me that they don't have that much respect for their organization. Why would you want someone in your organization who did not really want to be there? Who wants to be chosen by default?
6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person? I would only find fault if the member continued to pursue me after I have made it clear that I was not interested. If so, I would only be upset with the person "recruiting" me.
7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do? My answer is about the same as my answer to number five. But more importantly, it says that she does not respect my wishes if she continues to pressure me.
8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do? I would have to someone who isn't very sure of herself or her beliefs.
9. Could you look yourself in the mirror? Is this a trick question? If I were to be swayed, No. I would not be able to look myself in the mirror ( in any fashion).
10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity? If I were swayed to do something that I did not truly agree with or believe in, I'm gonna agree with my sisterfriend, I would have a lot of growing up to do.

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC? Way before.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization? Not at all.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in? Negative.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization? Little flattered but definitely not offended.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person? That she really doesn’t know me at all. I have issues stepping away from my beliefs even when I know that I’m dead azz wrong. LOL.. yeah I’m working on that.


6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person? If I found fault… it would be with the person not the org. More than one person makes an org.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do? That she should pursue a career in sales.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do? By going from ABC to XYZ… apparently my reasons for initially choosing ABC weren’t really the true reasons at all esp. if I didn’t believe in them. And that ABC is prolly better off while XYZ is in trouble. Kind of person.. ? weak and misguided of course.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror? Maybe that’s where I should start… with me… discovering me and what I want and not what someone else would like me to do.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity? What integrity?

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC? No, I made my choice a long time ago.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization? I am faced with this at all times, but I know what's in my heart, and I am going to follow my heart and soul.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in? Not in a million years.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization? No, I would not because if you are being discreet with your business, how would they know if you were interested in an organization at all.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person? They have no respect for your interests and they are only looking out for themselves.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
I would have a problem with the person who is causing the problem.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do? It would be flattering that she thinks enough of you to want you to share something special with you. If I have no interest, I would let her know how I felt because joing an organization is a lifetime dedication that come along with other responsiblities.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do? I would consider myself as being a weak minded individual that does not possess any leadership capabilities whatsoever.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
No I could not look myself in the mirror because I would be a failure, and knowing in my heart that xyz was not what I want, I know I wouldn't be a good asset for xyz.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
Nothing

My Thoughts...
 

Before I answer, I've been a sisterfriend since 2000.

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

Yes, I did. After a lot of research, I think I made the best choice for me.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

Absolutely not. I think this is what GOOD research does for the person who is interested. You have to know what's best for you. I also think that when you're pursuing a particular organization, one ought to be looking at the national programs and service that she would be doing as a member, and whether or not she can best serve those programs. If you're letting the opinion of one person sway you from the organization where you KNOW you'd be doing the most good, you aren't fit to be there.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

I agree with my fellow sisterfriends-NO, NO NO! Again, that's what research is for!! If you're letting that one person sway you, you should really think about whether or not this is for you...this is truly a LIFETIME commitment.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

No, I wouldn't be if that person approached me in a professional way; also, they wouldn't know I was interested in ABC to begin with. I think I'm a well-rounded person who would work hard for the organization of my choice as well as the school I go to. So I'd be a little flattered-but of course I'd kindly turn it down :D while still not disclosing my interest in XYZ.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

It depends on the circumstances. Again, if it was done in a professional way, that person may have seen in me and my actions their organization's ideals. Again, I'd be flattered but still have to graciously decline :D

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

I wouldn't find fault with either, simply because they were just seeing the good qualities in me and they are trying to recruit women who may uphold those ideals. Like sisterfriend HK1974 said, maybe they were just "looking out" for their organization. However, if that person just kept on pursuing me, that's a whole other situation.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

Perhaps they're stalking me... :p Seriously, I would have to say that if I have already said, "No Thanks" she lacks the knowledge to stop pursuing me. The next time around, I'll have to spell it out... N-O T-H-A-N-K-S

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

I'd have to ask myself if sorority life is REALLY for me or not. That would confirm that I probably was nothing but a t-shirt wearer that wouldn't do anything but want to party...and those are the WRONG reasons to join a sorority.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

Oh no. Not at all. Not only would I not even be happy in the other org, everytime I see new members in the org I wanted to begin with I would be like, "Oh, that coulda been me up there."

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

Again, I gotta go with the sisterfriends and tell myself, "you've got some maturing to do". Obviously I went into this for the wrong reasons.

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

Yes. There has only ever been 1 choice for me.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

No. I truly believe if your organization of choice is wholly in your heart, there's no room for swaying.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member)
sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

No. Same answer as above.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

I had to really think about this for a minute before replying, because I've had this happen to me on more than one occasion, and I was offended. I felt as if, why should I be bothered with second best.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

It would let me know, they did not have my best interests or true desires at heart, if they did they wouldn't attempt to change my mind or me. (Not that I would tell anyone ;) )

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

I would find fault with the individual. One person's position has no reflection one the entire organization they belong to.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

Same answer as Number 5.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

WEAK and DISHONEST, UNTRUE TO MYSELF!

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

NO. Especially not while possibly dressed in this organizations paraphernalia, knowing I had the opportunity to pursue my organization of choice.


10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

It would show I had no integrity to begin with. Why be a part of an organization that holds no pride, meaning or value to ones self?

No fair....
 

No fair AKA2D....there's no questions for sorors to reply to....:D

Re: No fair....
 

Now, Soror, I know you've been there and done that! :D

You've retired from stuh like that.

:p

Questions
 

Sisterfriends of GC-10 questions for ya!

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

Yes, I have always had a strong interest in my organization of choice.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?


No, I feel I have made the best decision for ME. No one else's opinion should deter me from my interests and beliefs. The only influence I let people have over me are positive ones.


4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

No, I would not be offended b/c one if I am being discrete then no one in another organization should how "clear" my interest in another organization is. If a member of another organization came to me I would be flattered to know that she sees enough good to me to want me as a member.
5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

It depends on the person and their tactics. If someone comes to me badmouthing another organization to uplift theirs, I would find that person to be unworthy of my time. But if someone were to mention the merits of one organization to broaden my horizions and let me make my own decisions that is fine.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

As stated above if the person came at me in the wrong manner, I would hold it against her personally, she doesn't voice the opinions of the whole (I am going through with a group I work with now).


7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

It says nothing that person may not understand that what's best for him/her may not be best for me. I would just have to be strong enough in my convictions to not be swayed.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

[COLOR=orange]If I were to do this, I would be very weak. But I can't see myself being drawn in like that.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

Looking myself in the mirror would not be the biggest problem, looking the members of the organization in their knowing that everytime I say I love this org. I would lying to them and myself.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
I would feel I have no integrity if you can't stand up for what you believe in then you may get what you really want.

Re: Sisterfriends of GC-10 questions for ya!
 

1) Yes, I can't ever remember wanting to do something else..

2) Hell no! I can say this first hand because people are always trying to sway my decision.
:rolleyes:

3) No once again, I think that goes back to how strong of an individual you are. No one is going to make you something you don't really want to.

4) No I wouldn't be offended, just flattered!!

5) I agree with strobelitehoney when I say they are probably just persistent, or you could be giving off vibes that your mind is not completely made up??

6) No I don't see any fault in that at all, with either the individual or the organization. I would look at it as recruiting.

7) I would just look at that as her wanting me to share this experience with her, but sometimes you have to travel your own road.

8) You wouldn't be a person you would be a jellyfish!!

9) No, because in no way can I see myself being talked into something that I don't want to do like that.. Especially if this is a lifelong decision.

10) It would definitely leave a negative mark on my integrity, and I would probably be upset with myself for awhile.

Thanks!!! :cool:

If you don't stand for something...
 

Although I am not actively pursuing the organization I am interested in, I am a sisterfriend, to all my sisters. So here we go...


1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

-Yes, I did.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

-There is no way in the world. I let nobody influence my decisions on anything unless I know and respect them. I that case I will take into consideration their opinions but I will make my own decisions.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

See question number 2.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

-First of all, nobody else should know my intentions but me. However, I wouldn't be offended, that would just re-enforce my thinking that I am a valuable person to have as a part of any organization. I would have to set that person straight though. (In a nice way :) )

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

-Well, as I stated before, they shouldn't know my intent to begin with. This would prove to me that this person does not respect my opinions and choices.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

-I don't think I would find "fault" with a whole organization for one members action's. Thats ridiculous, like saying I don't like a religion because of one fanatic. I don't think I could find fault with the person either, because I should not have made my intentions known to that person to start with. I would find fault with mysfelf for telling.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

-Well, it could say one of two things. One, the person thinks I would make a good member of their organization and would be an asset. Two, the person has agenda against me or the organization I am interested in.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

-That would make me a person who isn't confident in my choices.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

-If I EVER let someone sway my decisions (again that will never happen), I would be able to look myself in the mirror (gotta look in the mirror to do my hair and whatnot :D ). However, I would know that I am looking at a weakling.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

integrity

2. Moral soundness; honesty; freedom from corrupting influence or motive ; -- used especially with reference to the fulfillment of contracts, the discharge of agencies, trusts, and the like; uprightness; rectitude.

-That I have NO integrity.

LMAO AT YOU

A JELLYFISH. I like that one. I'm picturing a person's body, with a jelly fish head.

LMAO. wooooooooo
must've been the Kool-aid.

Re: Sisterfriends of GC-10 questions for ya!
 

1. Yes. I decided over 10 years ago.
2. No.
3. No.
4. No.
5. It says that they are convinced about their organization and they want others to see how great it is. That is their opinion. As long as they were not stalking me and shoving it down my throat-- it would not bother me. They got luv for their organization.
6. No need to find fault period. But if I had to, it would be with the person.
7. Same as #5. As the old church spiritual says, "I shall not be moved."
8. I would not be myself, so I have no way to answer this.
9. LOL.. of course I could. I would be true to myself regardless. That person can't "fade me."
10. I am true to myself, period. My integrity would not be in question in such a scenario.

stop recruiting...lmao!
 

Thanks for responding.

I didn't realize until now, how some of these questions kind of hit home.

My sister isn't greek. However, when she was in college, our cousin was a member (chapter President) of ABC organization. Also, her sister was a chapter member too. So, when it was almost time for my sister to graduate, even though they knew she wanted to be an AKA, they told her she could be a member of their organization. :eek: double :eek: My sister thanked them, and told them, that that was not necessary. It was one way and one way only or no way. It's been umpteen years later and it's still no way. LMAO!

Re: Sisterfriends of GC-10 questions for ya!
 

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

Yes. Long before.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

No.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

No. The wonderful thing about life is that it is diverse. People have different ways of seeing and thinking about themselves and the world around them. Organizations are microcosmic representations of the world around us. Those in them represent have different ways of thinking about and seeing the world.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

No. I wouldn't be offended, but honored. But their offering doesn't mean that I would want to accept. I would be gracious in my decline.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

It may not suggest anything negative at all. It can simply be that this person really wants you to be in their organization. But after continued pressing, and my constant declines, it would suggest to me that she does not respect my ability to make up my own mind, nor does she respect and support my decision.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

Members are appendages to, but are not the organization itself. They may represent the ideals, be greatly active, but are not the organization in its entirety. I wouldn't find fault with the organization, nor would I try to find fault with the person. I would still love her and not try to frown at her. We just had a misunderstanding.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

Refer to my answer to #5.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

Weak...lacking any real fortitude as an individual.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

I can't imagine myself being that gullible. If I did something like that, it would be so far apart from my character. I would need to eventually move on and get to the business of my daily grooming. :)

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

As I said, I would have a hard time going against my intented goals. I truly do place a high premium on integrity in my own life and those surrounding me. But on a purely hypothetical note...it would speak poorly of one's integrity...or a lack thereof. Integrity is really about one's ability to remain true to themselves in spite of challenges.

Re: Sisterfriends of GC-10 questions for ya!
 

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
Yes I did

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
NO. Choosing an organization you are planning to make a lifetime commitment to does not and should not involve anyone but you. Allowing a person to sway you seems to show a lack of conviction.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?
No, because that person does not refect the National organization, just her mood that particualr day. People are falliable and we will make mistakes. I will not blame that person's shortcomings on Alpha Kappa Alpha.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
No I would thank that person for considering me but my heart is set on Alpha Kappa Alpha, no offense taken:)

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
If this person knew about my interest in Alpha Kappa Alpha, I would think that they are rather desprate or just don't get it. i won't work with me.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
If the person is unyielding in her efforts to convince me I would probably still blame the person and not the organization for her actions.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
Again, it makes me think that the person is recruiting me than the other way around.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
A follower and not a leader, and very weak willed.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
Yes, although I know I would never do such a thing, I am still a God fearing woman with the will to suceed. I don't think it is the most terrible thing in the world because I'm sure that many greeks were pressured into joining XYZ when they wanted to be in ABC. They coped with there decision and still served their repsective orgs.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
in·teg·ri·ty Pronunciation Key (n-tgr-t)
n.
Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
The state of being unimpaired; soundness.
The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness.

Is there something immoral about choosing any greek organization whether you were influenced by someone or not? See the problem with this is that people are bound to their own moral and ethical beleifs. IMHO it says nothing about anyone's integrity.

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

**Yes, long before this website.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
**Never.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?
**No. It's not fair to base your judgement of an entire group of people from one person.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
**I would be flattered.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
**They don't really respect my dreams.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
**Just the person. People are individuals and make mistakes.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
**I would feel that the person simply adores their organization and feels you would be a great candidate.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
**Very unhappy.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
**I would never do such a thing, so this question is a bit moot.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
in·teg·ri·ty Pronunciation Key (n-tgr-t)
**See answer #9.

Sup, I know ya'll said SISTERfriends, but I hope you don't mind me answering.

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

Yes, I knew since I was 17 I that I want to be a member of ABC.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

Many have tried... ALL have failed. ABC is my FINAL answer!

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

No because I wanted to be a member of ABC before I met any of the members :cool:. If somebody can be easily swayed then that is a sign that membership SHOULD NOT be for them.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

Speaking for me personally, ALL the Greeks on my yard know I want to be a member of ABC (I had no say in this but that's cool :cool: ). And I happen to have friends in DEF and XYZ, more than I do in ABC... they may tease me because I have not obtained membership, but they respect me. However, if they were a transfer student and they didn't know, I would not be offended.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

That they don't know me very well and that they haven't been to this school very long because if they did they would already know not to ask (I do mean that humbly).

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

Only the person... only the person.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow him into his organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

The same answer as the one in #5.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

LORD help me that this incident SHALL NOT happen because if it do, then it means I have truly lost my sanity. At that point I would be non-human.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

What mirror?! I wouldn't be able to look at one.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

What that says is that as a person, I have not only lost my integrity, I have disrespected both the organization I truly want to gain membership in and the one I would currently be a member of (that won't happen but just saying). You can't change your mind on something like that because once you say you want to be an ABC, it is etched in stone.


112

If you are going to post,
 

make sure you use a COLOR that people can read. :eek:

:p

LMAO!

Well this is how it is........
 

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
- I have been interested in AKA, Inc since I was six yrs old and I learnedd about GC while researching

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
- First of all, if joining the org. is in your heart then nobody can sway your interest.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

-AKA is in my heart and I feel strongly about joining, I have friends who are joing 123 and XYZ and they are always trying to sway me, we have been girls for years, but this is a lifetime commitment and AKA is in my heart.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
-No because they don't know of my intentions. I would clearly say "Thanks for the offer, but I am not interested."

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
- They see a quality in you that is an assessment to them. However, if they knew of my interest and still tried to pursue, then I would become upset because they are not respecting my decision.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
- The person because she may have different views about me compared to the rest of the sorority.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
- That she will settle for anything and that she is desperate. It is crazy to have ask someone or persuade them to join sisterhood of XYZ, when they are not even interested. :rolleyes:

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
- I would be a confused individual because obviously I am not sure if I can lose interest in one org. to go to another.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
- No because I would know that the real reason I joined the organization was because I was persuaded. Not becasue of what they stand for or because we all share a common interest.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
- Plain and simple........there is none.

Re: Sisterfriends of GC-10 questions for ya!
 

Good Questions....
 

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
Yes, I did. I decided before even getting to college. Its actually a funny story, I'll tell it privately. If you want to know PM me.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
Nope, plain and simple

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?
If (my name here) is not interested, someone else is not going to change my mind, I make my own decisions. I'm a Taurus, that's just the way stubborness works. ;)

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
I wouldn't be offended, especially if they didn't know (which most people don't), I would politely declined.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
Desperation, their organization should not seek me, I should be seeking the organization.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
Probably, the person, because the rest of the chapter might not even know what they've been doing.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
Either she's really proud of her choice and thinks highly of me (I hope), or she's joining/joined for the wrong reasons and needs to do her own soul-searching instead of worrying about my choice.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
A person who only wants letters, a person who lets the org make them, a person who just wants to belong...basically a sad sad individual.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
I wouldn't know, because I wouldn't pull some mess like that. I'm not a good liar though, so it would come back to haunt me, especially since I'm lying to myself.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
It's either non-existent, or very low. The ultimate dishonest person is the one who is dishonest with his/her self. ;)

My Responses
 

2D, although this thread is old, I think that this is a VERY good topic for SFs of any org., especially considering the type of ish that's been happening lately. I look forward to reading the responses of others.

Anyhow:

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

Yes, I believe I found GC through a different website. However, my mind was made up PRIOR to joining GC.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

No. When I decided that I would like to learn more, and perhaps become a member, I looked at all four sororities before deciding which sorority would suit me best.


3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

Again, no. I do not think that this would be in anyone's (mine, the members, or the org.) best interest. Why would I want to join an organization in which I could not be 100% committed to, simply because of WHO is a member.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

It would depend on how they came at me. The first time I would not be offended. Perhaps that member sees qualities in me that she believes could be beneficial to the org. I would politely decline and let her know of my preference. If it continued past this, yes, I would be offended, since I have clearly stated that I am uninterested.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

I don't think that the person is wrong. As stated, she must see certain characteristics that could help her org. or that would make me a desirable and possibly potential member. Again, this would vary from person to person, depending on the situation.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

No, I would not find fault with the org. The only way I could find fault with the person is if the person has bad intentions with trying to sway my intent.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

Either the person has genuine love for the interest of her sorority or that something is amiss with this person.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

Someone who is a follower and not a leader. I would be a shallow person, because I would simply be attempting to gain letters only, and not SISTERHOOD.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

No, because I would have let myself down, and I am not that type of person.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
That my integrity is LACKING.

I guess I'll take a run at it too!
 

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

Yes wayyy before like almost 10 years ago.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

No, my friends of "other" interest and I play around a lot and truth be told all the NPHC Sororities are wonderful Orgs. but I know which Org. I desire to become a member of.


3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or nonmember) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

Nah... Beside in my case my really close friends who do throw out 'hints' know anything they say I take it in TOTAL jest! B/c I know, what I know, what I know....


4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

I have had that happen and I think b/c my friends know me to be a loyal and steadfast person there was/is no 'bad blood' whatsoever... They hate my history spiel anyway...lol


5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

I think it depends on what their true intent was/is. In my case, a person I know somewhat well invited me to a Rush a few years ago, and I smiled and said "thanks but no thanks." She was shocked and we discussed it a bit further and I made my desire plain and she respected that. She still from time to time will email about an event or see me 'in strive mode' and say are ya sureeeeee??? And I simply go into my history spiel and she smiles and walks away...lol.. The people who know me well know of my interest and they know there's no switching up going on even if I have to wait another decade!!!!


6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

I think again it depends on the intent. I have a former coworker who is in another Org. and she has asked me about pledging her Org. for a number of years. In my line of work I have been fortunate enough to meet members of Alpha Kappa Alpha and work with them and she has seen that and has questioned me about my interest, I tell her NADA. And I do find fault with her personally b/c she is known to have a big mouth and I could just imagine what she would say if she knew for a fact that I was interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha especially since she has made derogatory comments about the Org. in my presence, I think mostly to see my reaction.... Of which I tell her as Black women and Christians we should not say things of that nature b/c everyone does something positive.... For yall that know me, yall KNOW how hard it is for me to hold my tongue but alas discretion!

However, if the Org./chapter is encouraging members to 'recruit' I would fault the Org. as well.


7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

Back to my old friend intent, I think some people see you as an asset and think you would make a great member. And as Sisterfriends we knowwwww when hear a Member of AKA say that to us...our hearts jump with joy! So I guess I take anything from a member of another Org. w/ a grain of salt in most case because of discretion they aren't the wiser of my interest anyhow so I can't fault them. But if it were me and i kept hinting to someone and they didn't take the bait... I dunno I'd stop... but oh well....I'll take it as a good thing and keep praying....


8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

I think desperate? Some people really just want to belong. And I can't say they are wrong... b/c it's not for me to say. You have to do what you think is best for you. I have friends who cannot believe I am still interested in AKA after all these years. But in my mind there is no other choice for ME... (P.S. A-.All Orgs. are simply wonderful and do great things.) And the time I have spent has opened wonderful doors to women who I otherwise would not have been blessed to meet and work with. Moreover, I am learning more and more about the organization's history and current initiatives which only further fuels my desire and as with EVERYTHING God's got it all in control and when He is ready to bless you with something no one and nothing can stop Him...

Moral of the story wait on God!

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

No way no how!


10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

Hummm...

Waiting would say----I think it says that, I, despite other opportunities have made a commitment to remain true to myself and my desires and goals and if it takes another 10 years I know there's a blessing in it regardless and its worth the wait!

Not waiting would say--- I would need serious self reflection I do believe you can be initially 'attracted' to one Org. and then research and find your 'true calling' if that's the case good for you! But if out of impatience you take 'second best' ie., your second choice.... there's some serious assessing one should do.


WOW this got the brain moving on a Saturday morning!!!! Now off to class! :D

Now let me take a trip down memory lane...
 

Funny...

I originally responded to this thread as a sisterfriend back in March of 2002. Here it is over a year later and I can read my words from a different point of view- as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha. What a feeling!

Soror AKA2D '91, I know this is the SF thread (don't hurt me please, smile). I just took a trip down memory lane. Just goes to show that with faith, perservance, staying humble, and staying true to yourself, things can work out.

SF, thanks for letting me barge in ya'll. I just got a lil misty :o :o

Aweeeee
 

That was so niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I am such a sappy person anyway!!! I didn't know it was such an old post... hummmm that's a nice trip down memory lane! Thanks for the pick me up :)

1. Did I decide organization of choice before visiting GC?
Yes I did. I had grown up around these beautiful gifted women and I decided at a very young age that I wanted to be just like them. This particular organization was what I was fed and weaned on, just like a baby.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

No because after all the years of living on this earth, I still haven't changed my mind.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

No. When my mind is made up, there is hardly any way that I would change my mind. A double minded man (or woman) is unstable in all his(her) ways.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

No.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

It would tell me that that particular person is interested and will not take no for an answer. It also tells me that my answer was not respected enough to leave well enough alone.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

I would find fault in that person.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

That my answer doesn't mean anything. That person is going to try everything in her power to get me to change my mind.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

On a serious note, I do not change my mind easily especially about something that I have wanted to do for the majority of my life. If I did change my mind then that meant that I was not serious in the first place. That I did not have a made up mind. My mind is made up. This is something that I want to do.

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

I could look myself in the mirror because I know that I said no to someone who was trying to change my mind. I may not have explained the reasons why and I feel that I should not have to explain myself. My values and goals are sacred to me and if you change your mind everytime someone has a persuasive arguement then I consider you a wishy washy person. Someone who I don't need to associate with.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

My integrity is strong, the way my parents raised me to be. I know that I may not be all of that all of the time. I am still human. I strive to reach perfection everyday. Even though I may fail or come short, I know in my heart that I have tried and fought the good fight. If you let your integrity come up short, then what makes you think you are a good person. Why would you short yourself like that? I feel that I don't have to short myself in any way, shape, form or fashion. I have a pride and dignity about myself that is unshakeable. And for that, I do thank my God and my parents.

Thanks for letting me add my thoughs!

1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting?

Yes

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

No

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

No

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

No, that has happened before. I think that if the motives of the invitation are innocent, then I think that the other organization may see something in me that they like.

5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

They have no idea of my resolve.

6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

The person....

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

nothing....what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander.

8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

Weak, and not true.... you know what they say.... "if you'll lie to yourself, you'll lie to anyone!"

9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

Yes, only because though "someone" may have attempted to lure me away from my path, I stayed true.

10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

That it is and will always remain intact.
Just some questions for you to ponder over. :D [/QUOTE]
