I was always taught that we should respect all of the Divine 9. As another poster mentioned, I come from a world where you would have been expected to greet all greeks. A little light hearted teasing is fine- like picking on your cousin or something- but these days it seems far too mean spirited and personal to me. When I have the opportunity, I try hard to teach younger sorors why they need to rethink that approach and be about uplifting Delta Sigma Theta. If the only think memorable about your probate/coming out/yard/step show was how nasty you were towards another organization, you probably needed to stop and you’re your show from the jump. When you read articles about whether the need for HBGLO's still exists and whether or not we bring more division to the Black community, it is this kind of dissing behavior that fuels that belief. The reality is that if every chapter of each org lived up to its legacy and charge, our communities would reap the benefit. We would stand together as examples of all that is right in Black America instead of perpetrating our own form of Black on Black crime tearing each other down.
