Breathe, Soror. Breathe.

It will all be all right. Some people just don't know but don't let it stress you. Let it go in one ear and out the other and continue to enjoy your day.

that is too funny!!:D
Soror Monique, girl welcome to being a Delta. This is just the begining of the kinds of questions and actions you will get from those who either don't know or don't know how to behave.
Take it all in stride, those will be called..will see the light. ;)

Soror-

Remember one of the reasons you became a Delta is because you can handle anything that comes your way with ease and finesse. Don't let them get you down.

Sometimes, many times, people just don't know. You can decide to have them continue to make spectacles of themselves or pull them aside and educate them briefly. You've got to decide what role you will play.

I can tell when people are genuine or just plain foolish or bold, and I decide whether I need to enlighten them a bit. You know it's not always a good thing to see "us" so ignorant so it's up to "us" to educate each other. What they do after the education is up to them, but at least you've done something to make a difference.

Soror,

Like other sorors before me have said....let it roll. Just remember you have what she wants....don't even trip.

All of a sudden, after you cross, people want to be your best friend...do I know you?
 

Okay sorors, just wanting to see if any of you had some interesting people coming up to you after you crossed??? Even now are they still coming???

Here are my experiences:

1) I just crossed last month, about a week later I'm sitting in class and this chick next to me tapped me on the arm and said, "Congrats!" She had never uttered one word to me before, but I'll take positive words from anyone. I know yall are like what's the problem then. It just took the cake when she TOLD me, "Yall need to vote to have a line next year, so that I can be on it!" I just looked at her. IS SHE SERIOUS?!

2) We just finished SGA elections at my school. I am the new2004/2005 Vice President!!! :D Anyway, while campaigning I was going door to door reminding people to vote for officers as well as Miss Jackson State. So, a friend and I are in the freshman dorm talking to 4 young ladies about the voting process when one of them asked, "Are there any Deltas running for Miss Jackson State?" I was like, "Yes you will see her in the pageant." She said, "Oh, well I guess I need to go meet her since that's what I'm trying to be." I could have fell out laughing. I didn't have on any para, my bracelet wasn't visible, and I didn't mention that I was a Delta. I just told her to vote and left.

People should really be careful about what they say, because other people remember faces. I'm one of the nicer ones :cool:

you may as well get used to it soror. you have now become people's primary resource; people figure that your community service duty is answering their questions. and it never ends. grown women will see my plates and ask "what i gotta do to join an alumnae chapter?"

oh, and whatever your government last name is...forget it. your last name is now "the Delta." so as of the day you crossed, you are "Tigger the Delta."

but, i let it roll most of the time. it gives me something to laugh about.

I guess it depends on where you are. Since my chapter is a long stretch away from my actual home I haven't run into very many interested women since I crossed. We did have two people make a point to introduce themselves at IDOS but they were really nice. I've gotten more of a reaction from women on campus where I teach who suddenly want to know when the next step show is. I mean your guess is as good as mine LOL. And soror you're right. The one thing my chapter emphasized was as soon as we had crossed the sands we were now going to be known as MSN the Delta. So while yes folks were going to be asking for info that we also had to watch what we were doing in public cause someone was ALWAYS going to be watching.

This goes out to all the Neo's out there, this sort of thing happens all the time. Some are amusing, some are annoying and some will just down right piss you off. But above all else, remember who you are and what you've pledge to do and don't allow them to ruffel your feathers.


OOO-OOP ;)

To the Neos
 

Now I am going to assume that all of you knew everything about what not to do as a prospect. Think about how is it you knew (or did some of you learn from experience.) The bottom line don't forget from whence you came. You were just in their shoes.

Re: All of a sudden, after you cross, people want to be your best friend...do I know you?
 

NEO!!!!:D :D

Yeah, it's always interesting to see who become your new "best friend." There was this one guy that I was in class with but we weren't close. I was walking around in my line shirt and all of a sudden we're long lost friends and he had to hug me. He threw me off guard cause I don't hug people a lot and we had NEVER hugged the whole year that we knew each other.

whatever......
 

some of you people are a trip! What's wrong with speaking to you or asking you questions? You act like you're above the "little" people because you have some letters now. Maybe you had a stank ass attitude before and they didn't want to speak. Maybe wearing letters made you more approachable so they can talk to you about their interest. Maybe they just felt like saying hi that day. That doesn't make it seem like they want to be your best friend. Some of you act like since you are Deltas now, that someone speaking to you or congratulating you is a freakin sin. Get over yourselves.....You probably did the same thing when you were prospects!

Re: whatever......
 

Well. Look what came out from under a rock.
:rolleyes:

Re: whatever......
 

It' looks like Haterade is back on the market.:rolleyes:

I'm hating because people act like they are above someone who merely SPEAKS to them? That makes NO sense...

I need some RAID!!!


Thanks Steeltrap and SOROR #1Leading Lady for speaking up.

I did not feel I had to limit who replied to this thread and I am still not FOR NOW but 2pretty4u, for you to hate Deltas so much, you sure do spend a lot of time checking us out. Just like yo man. :p

CTHU!!!
Can't find a cockroach smilie, though.

You. Rock.

Soror lovelyivy is correct. . . you DO rock! But why you have to go and sign that girl's rejection letter? You know she just mad at you boo. . . :(

____________________/\______________________________

My azz is gone.

Now seeee. Why are you guys acting up? LOL. :p

With all do respect and I do mean that, and I am hoping that my reply will not piss anyone off because that is definitely not my intention. But why is it a problem when someone goes up to a newly crossed Delta and congratulate her? Or whats wrong if a prospect approaches a Delta in a respectful way to inquire information about her organization? I mean i hear people say all the time that it's good to establish a relationship with a Delta if you are a prospect. I'm just asking questions for honest clarity. Im not askin them to offend anyone or like I stated before to piss anyone off. I honesty just want to know. OR if it something I will never understand unless I become a Delta then i understand. Thanks.

I do not see your question as disrespectful. A lot of times, folks come out the woodwork to congratulate that before when I was just Carla the student, president of Concerned Black Students, resident of whatever dorm, etc. etc. they would not speak and would even go so far as to say they did not like me, but when I became a Delta and that is where their interest was, they tried to get buddy buddy. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN to me but it happens quite a bit.

If you and I are cool or our contact was limited and you approach me after I became a Delta and congratulated me, THANKS:D but some folks take that congratulations and try to sneak on in.

I am typing in a rush and probably not being very coherent.

Put it like this, suppose you won the lottery and not just like $1000 but like MILLIONS and all of a sudden you get all sorts of cousins, aunts, uncles, long lost sandbox friends, like HEEEEEEEEEY GIRL!!!! and only because you are a millionaire, how would you feel!?!?!? That's how we as Greeks feel SOMETIMES and NOT ALL GREEKS when we cross over and folks approach and trying to be our sidekicks.

If it ain't real, keep it moving. :cool:

thank you and i totally understand and appreciate your response.

I think that the problem is, when there is a problem because most of the time there isn't, the way people approach you. Maybe it's just me but I can tell when folks are approaching me sincerely and when they aren't. A congrats is a congrats, I'll accept love from anyone but if we weren't super duper cool please don't act like you want to be best friends all of a sudden. It's hasn't been a MONTH since I crossed so I remember the need to ask questions of someone and again if it's done in the right way you won't get me to SHUDDUP about Delta cause it's special to me. But for example, this hasn't happened to me thank God, someone was to say congrats and oh by the way when y'all gonna take another line cause I can't wait to oo-oop? Well that's not cool. Plus I'll be real I don't know everything about Delta so there is some stuff I wouldn't be able to tell ya if you asked no matter how you asked it. I have yet to be offended by anyone and hope that I can keep in mind that asking a question isn't a bad thing from here on out. All I ask is some consideration about when ya asking, ie if I'm in the same class with you doing some last minute studying for this bear of an exam it ain't the right time to talk to me about Delta. Wait till after class when we both annoyed with the teacher and we got something else to bond over too. ;)

Her reply was the verbal equivalent of this:

My take..
 

I'm brand new also, still have sand on my feet, and I've been approached by many people. Boy, do I have some stories about that.
Anytime I wear 'nalia- which is like every single day as I have a severe case of neoitis- I just expect to have at least one person ask me about AKA. If I ever wake up and feel like I don't want to be bothered, I won't wear 'nalia. I haven't felt that way yet.
As far as people asking questions: I try to be really helpful if the person sounds sincere. I remember that the MAIN thing that stood out in my mind as an interest, was the way the members treated me. The ladies were always kind to me and very helpful and respectful. *winking at pinkivy08 and evaclear* That was one of the main things that made AKA stand out from the other orgs on my campus- the ladies were approachable and friendly to me. So I try to be the same way to people who approach me.
Now, don't get me wrong my LS' will tell you, I am VERY SERIOUS about AKA. So a person really has to be tight if they approach me. I feel like, as an interest, I was always tight, so be tight and on your game when you step to me. But I am never downright rude to anyone. I have people say stuff like "Ooh gurl, you a AYe Kaye AYe? How I cuh be one uh dem?" I politely direct tell them that it is necessary to go to COLLEGE or if they are in college I direct them to AKA1908.com and remove myself from the situation. But I try to be polite because I don't want to leave a bad taste in their mouth about AKA.

OMG!!! Too funny!!

Re: whatever......
 

Calm down and pump your breaks for a minute. It's not even like that. I'm the same person that I was before I got these letters. This post was not meant to offend anyone or to make anyone feel as though they can't speak. I just wanted to hear everyone else's experiences because I know that just about everyone has them. No I can't say that I did the same thing as a prospect because I didn't. And no my letters shouldn't make me approachable, but my personality should. Some of the stuff is outright funny, but I don't really take those things to heart because some people honestly don't know. Now, if you have anything else to say...PM me and I'll get back to you.

Peace

Don't pay her no mind. Like my grandma used to say "Aint nobody studdin' her.":D

This is why I will never take her seriously or "study her"

I hear that. Too bad that our funny, usually peaceful corner of the Web gets invaded at times by Trollshiquajuana McTroll.
:p

Translation of that thread:

2pretty: *wiping tears away* Boo-hoo, I can't stop my so-called man from sweating those Deltas. I wish I could be one of them so he could pay some attention to me. *goes to a corner to pout* :p

BWWAAHAAAAAAAA!!

Ditto to that

Quote:

oh, and whatever your government last name is...forget it. your last name is now "the Delta." so as of the day you crossed, you are "Tigger the Delta."

...or Sigma, or AKA, etc.... ;)

I don't mind if someone comes up to me and ask me about AKA. But please just do it with respect.

Re: Re: whatever......
 

LOL, well unlike 2pretty4u, my comment was meant to merely point out that everyone has learned at some point (even the hard wa) what not to do. Maybe you can use your encounters to educate the next group.

Or more like this: http://pic1.picturetrail.com/VOL114/...6/48664459.jpg
