I haven't posted to this forum in a while. Finding the following link compells me to do so:

As far as I know, the sorority profiled above, Delta Kappa Delta, is the first, if not the only Asian Indian interest sorority in the nation.
All I can say is
awesome!
These woman have taken the challange of creating and maintaining the name for the Indian American womanhood. No easy task, but
then, my
jati behens have always been up to the challenge.
I admire the sorority's ideals - incorporating the quotation from Rabindranath Tagore speaks to me of how high they aim with their goals. And that's
moving to me, in a way that I doubt anyone except those of Asian Indian descent could understand.
The website doesn't necessarily say much, and they are young, to be sure, but I sense power, drive, and ambition emanating from that website.
Call it my
desi 6th sense
(OK, so can anyone guess what the italicized words mean?
And no fair speaking if you are or know somebody who is Indian!!)
