since i have been reading this thread, i have been wondering why you are looking outside of ourself for approval? i don't feel the need to defend my decision to pledge Delta or to defend Delta's worth as an organization. there will always be people who have negative things to say regardless of which org you are a member of. you just have to ket it roll like water off a duck'd back
! you all are doing your thing, so don't worry about not getting respect or whatever. just show and prove!
