GO on SISTERGIRL! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

But seriously,

It's out there, you can't do too much about it. Just tell them, that you don't want to discuss it. PERIOD!

AS for your brother's comment...the Soror's are going to do whatever. I cannot speak for them.

BTW, has your brother recovered? regained his eyesight, etc? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

JUST A LITTLE HUMOR!

My family almost did the same thing. Don't be angry with them tho8ugh. They probably don't know any better. We were once ingnorant too until we did research! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Just sit down with them and tell them what you've learned about the do's and don'ts and explain why their behavior may put your chances in danger.

Once I had that talk with my peeps, they don't say anything about it outside of the house.They're very supportive and realize it's something I want badly. They wouldn't want to do any thing to harm that.

I know exactly what you feel like. My family has tried to get in my business concerning my interest as well and believe me it has been difficult. I have usually tried to down play why I attended meetings, and community service events sponsored by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I would say things like "I just wanted to hear what they had to say". Unfortunately that didn't work for very long because my older sister has "leaked" the information to my family. But the family members who belong to another organization have even tried to dissuade me. But the women of my family who are members have encouraged me and made me more excited to be on the other side. It's been hard to try to better on the side of discretion when at every family gathering every greek member is constantly asking me so "what's going on with you and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc." As you can see I COMPLETLEY understand your plight. But all I can tell you is what I do and that is smile and say "I'm working on it but I'd rather not talk about it" That way you give them and inch but not the whole mile.

My cover has been blown!
 

My friends constantly talked about greek life and they always asked me if I was interested and I would said "No". My school recently had an informational that I attended and it was held in a very public place on campus. The night that I attended the meeting, several of my friends and family saw me going to the meeting and now everyone knows that I'm interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. And now my interest in this organization is always the topic of conversation and I don't want everyone to know. My question is: how do i let them know that I don't want to talk about my interest-without being rude? The reason that I am starting to get angry is because my brother said to an AKA at my school, "My sister is GOING to be an AKA." Does anyone think that this will hurt my chances even though I EXCEED the minumum requirements?
