Greetings Sorors,
I do not place all sister friends in the same category. There are all types of people out there!! Some Serious minded and some just popularity seekers.(The latter,need not seek membership in MY sorority)!!!!
AKA is A SERIOUS MATTER and sister friends need to practice discretion and humility at ALL times. Unfortunately not enough do this.
I had a situation where a co-worker who is striving for AKA(and may I add showing NO DISCRETION) is going around telling people she's going to be on the next AKA line, using terminology like pledging and that she'll be going through alot because AKA's haze. Sorors I totally lost it when I found this out. When I asked her privately about the statements that were made of course she lied and said they weren't true,but then as we were talking another co-worker just walked up out of the blue and started talking to she and I about AKA and stated everything the girl had said above. She turned white as a sheet and said huh I don't know what you are talking about, and the co-worker now joined by another said yes, you do remember when you told us x,y and z.
I couldn't believe it. I had to go home and pray for her. People at would l say you two AKA's and I have to check them about that and say I'm the only one here who has earned her twenty pearls. But it's not their fault,she has them believing that she's got it like that. No humility, or discretion at all.
Once I clamed down I did speak to her about discretion, and that we do not pledge or haze in Alpha Kappa Alpha and if she wants to seek membership then her whole attitude needs to change quickly. Needless to say she just avoids me at work now. That was not my intent. My intent was to try and help guide her before she digs herself in a whole she can't escape. But you can't help everybody.
Even though I experienced this with this certain person,I would still view each sister friend on an individual basis. Just remember to approach a member only if your SERIOUS, and do it with respect,humility and discretion!!!!!!!!!
