before greekchat was thought of....
there were
3 people that were very encouraging in and during my process.
one was at the time and still is a very good friend that was a Alpha Sweet heart. she taught me to learn the greek alphabet.
one was my cousin who is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha (old school) he kept me on my toes.
the third was someone i considered to be my mentor, because she was down to earth and push me to my full potential. (i don't think she even knew) and she was a friend and member of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
she always had encouraging words or spiritual advice at hand.
