Black women have always ostracized me for not being "black enough". Well, truthfully, I am not and am happy the way I am. I like hard rock and classical, abhor rap and r&b, all of my friends have always been white, I speak properly and do not use lingo, I carry myself with respect and if that is seen as not being "black", well COOL! I have been called an "Uncle Tom", an "Oreo", a sell-out. And guess what, it doesn't bother me. Those attitudes just make me glad I made the choice I did even more. I have been questioned about my choice by everyone from national officers to my parents. I caused a ruckus at my convention a few years ago because not only was I the only African American to be there, everyone wanted to talk to me about how to attract more minorities to their chapters, and that made me feel good! PROUD TO BE A SIGMA 3!!!!!

SigmaGrrl,

As long as you are happy within yourself, what others say to/about you won't matter and will roll right off your back! Do your thing!
