Greetings my fellow Sorors and SistuhGreeks!
I have a huge dilemma and I am seeking advice and/or encouragement. I recently crossed into Delta Land Spring of 2006. Due to the nature of this post I will keep my chapter and line name secretive (all those wanting to know can send me a PM.) Anyway, I was so excited that my dream was finally a reality but little did i know that things would drastically change.
About 4 months ago I came 'out' to my sands. And not like OWT with the Bruhs but 'out' about me being a lesbian. Instead of support that I expected my sands completely turned on me, ridicule me, told me I was going to hell and a host of other mean things. Lately they have been ignoring me, calling me names, excluding me from activities, having 'get togethers' without my acknowledgement, mean muggin my girlfriend when she walks on campus and a list of other cruel actions.
I went to our advisor and she told me "it takes time for people to adjust to that, give it time and things will be normal" Well it's been four months and things are worse! I went back to our advisor recently and she told me that my sands are doing mean things to me in order to uphold the image of Delta.
I tried explaining to my Sands that they are like family to me and that I already had to deal with this mistreatment from my biological family. I also told them that my check to Delta is just as good as there's. I deserve to be a Delta and I cannot choose my sexuality just as much as I can choose to be black.
So, I am wondering what is my next step? Should I contact HQ? I can't take this much longer. I am now known on my campus as 'THE GAY DELTA.' It has become the joke in pro-shows and all over the yard. Its 2007, dammit
and I would assume that people would be more excepting of this by now.
I have cried many nights over this, stressed myself to the point where I throw up and don't even eat. Please somebody tell me what to do. PM if you need. Thanks!!
